The Military Police of Roraima have released important safety guidelines to ensure that participants can enjoy Carnival 2026 safely. The festivities are set to run until Ash Wednesday, which falls on February 18 this year. These recommendations aim to mitigate risks during the popular celebration, which attracts numerous attendees across the state.

Key tips from the police include avoiding carrying valuables, remaining vigilant in crowded locations, and not accepting drinks from strangers to mitigate the risk of theft and potential assaults. Emphasizing the seriousness of the issue, officials remind attendees that sexual harassment is a crime; they encourage people to report any suspicious behavior directly to the police by calling their emergency line, 190. The police underline the importance of planning, such as agreeing on a meeting spot in case members of a group become separated.

In addition to personal safety measures, financial pitfalls are highlighted, with the local bank Sicredi advising attendees to remain aware of potential financial scams during the festive period. The aim of these guidelines is to promote a safe and enjoyable experience for all at one of Brazil's most important cultural events, reinforcing the need for community vigilance and cooperation with law enforcement.
