The São Paulo Military Police is utilizing drones to monitor the body temperatures of revelers at post-carnival block parties, which aids in security and crowd management.
On Sunday, February 22, the Military Police in São Paulo implemented drone technology to create a heat map recording the body temperatures of individuals participating in post-carnival celebrations. This method provides a unique aerial view that not only enhances security measures during crowded events but also aids in managing the flow of attendees. The drone was notably used during the parade of the 'Vem com o Gigante' block, led by singer Léo Santana at the Ibirapuera Park area in South São Paulo.
Captain Alexandre Guedes, the spokesperson for the Military Police, highlighted the usefulness of this thermal imaging technology. It allows law enforcement to detect people or potential hazards even in obscured locations, such as under trees or near water bodies, enhancing their situational awareness during large gatherings. This initiative reflects the ongoing efforts of authorities to prioritize public safety in festive environments.
The deployment of such innovative technology signals a shift in how security is managed during large-scale events like carnival celebrations in Brazil. As authorities become increasingly proactive in utilizing advanced tools, it raises expectations for improved safety measures and effective crowd control in future events, potentially setting new standards for festival management across the country.
