Ribeirão Pires, a municipality in São Paulo state, has been recognized for its improving public safety metrics. In July 2026, the city was ranked 53rd out of 338 Brazilian cities with more than 100,000 residents in the 20th Brazilian Public Safety Yearbook, noting a homicide rate of 6.7 per 100,000 inhabitants. ~~Subsequent data~~ Data from the São Paulo State Public Security Secretariat for July 2026 indicated a significant decline in specific crime categories compared to July 2025, including a 40% drop in robberies, a 35% reduction in thefts, and a 60% decline in vehicle robberies. Local authorities attribute these trends to the ‘Smart Ribeirão Pires’ initiative and investments in technology, such as facial-recognition kiosks, over 180 surveillance cameras, automated license-plate ~~readers,~~ readers integrated with the ‘Muralha Paulista’ program, and the establishment of a Municipal Public Security Observatory to support strategic ~~mapping and~~ mapping. To further modernize the Municipal Civil ~~Guard.~~ Guard (GCM), the City Hall announced the acquisition of 56 new smart communication radios. These devices feature 2G, 3G, 4G, and Wi-Fi connectivity, Push-to-Talk technology, high-precision GPS, and cameras for real-time image transmission. Additionally, the municipality has begun training its first class of GCM officers in the use of neuromuscular incapacitation weapons, such as stun guns, following the receipt of 50 units through the Grande ABC Intermunicipal Consortium.
