Brazilian municipal guards non-lethal equipment deployment

Overview

Municipal Civil Guards in Brazil are expanding their operational capabilities through the acquisition of non-lethal equipment and specialized training.

In Goiânia, the Metropolitan Civil Guard (GCM) scheduled the deployment of 450 X2 model electric shock weapons across 110 patrol vehicles to facilitate the immobilization of suspects and reduce firearm usage. This initiative included the acquisition of motorcycles for rapid intervention, quadricycles for park patrolling, and administrative computing equipment.

Simultaneously, guards in Campo Grande and Armação dos Búzios have engaged in training programs focused on instruments of lesser offensive potential (IMPOs). In Campo Grande, candidates underwent extensive instruction covering pepper spray, tear gas, and grenades, alongside simulations for proportional force. In Armação dos Búzios, training under the ‘Município Mais Seguro’ program focused on the technical use of Tasers and pepper spray to ensure legal and operational safety during encounters.
