Helicopters, escorts and 200 PRF police: what the security will be like for COP-15 in MS
COP-15, scheduled for March 23-29 in Campo Grande, will implement extensive security measures, including the mobilization of 200 federal police officers for protecting dignitaries and managing traffic.
The COP-15, scheduled to take place from March 23 to 29 in Campo Grande, Brazil, will see a significant security operation managed by the Federal Highway Police (PRF). This operation begins on March 22, aiming to escort authorities participating in the High-Level Segment (HLS) of the event. With participation expected from officials, experts, and representatives from over 130 countries, a comprehensive planning is crucial for ensuring safety and orderly traffic in the city during the conference.
Approximately 200 federal police officers will be deployed for the event, including specialized units, regular policing, aerial operations, pre-hospital care teams, and motorcycle units. The PRF's efforts will be coordinated with other public security and transit agencies to ensure a cohesive approach to security throughout the duration of COP-15. This multi-faceted strategy aims to address potential challenges and maintain a smooth environment for all attendees.
Key security actions will include planned escorts and comprehensive traffic management to handle the influx of participants while ensuring that both security and accessibility are prioritized. The measures are indicative of Brazil's commitment to hosting an international event with a focus on safety and organization, reflecting the significance of the COP-15 summit in the global climate agenda.
