Sources: 5. Developments: 2. The Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj) moved to establish a statewide protection program for senior citizens. Initially, the assembly voted on Bill 1.764/23, which proposed the ‘Elderly Person Patrol Program’ to protect seniors with judicial protective measures through weekly visits by Military Police teams. Following the initial vote, the legislature approved the bill to expand the ‘Patrulha da Pessoa Idosa’ (Elderly Patrol) program across the entire state. Based on a model from Volta Redonda, the approved legislation mandates that Military Police conduct periodic visits—at least once a month—to verify compliance with judicial orders and assess victim safety. The program emphasizes integrated cooperation between the Civil Police, the Court of Justice, the Public Ministry, and the Public Defender’s Office, while providing specialized training for officers to ensure humanized service. The bill has been sent to the State Government for sanction or veto. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-07: Rio de Janeiro legislature approves statewide elderly protection patrol Rio de Janeiro's legislature approved a bill to expand the ‘Patrulha da Pessoa Idosa’ program statewide, providing police monitoring and integrated protection for elderly victims of violence. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/rio-de-janeiro-legislature-approves-statewide-elderly-protection-patrol ### 2026-09-30: Rio de Janeiro Assembly votes on elderly protection patrol program The Rio de Janeiro State Assembly is voting on a bill to create a patrol program that involves weekly police visits to elderly citizens protected by judicial orders. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/rio-de-janeiro-assembly-votes-on-elderly-protection-patrol-program --- Cite as: Rio de Janeiro elderly protection legislation.
