Brazilian SPECIAL OPERATIONS Police Units Page 3

RedoxI once saw a documentary on TV about Brazils war on drug gangs. It was kind of unreal. There was a raid into some favela. They entered under the cover of darkness shot a few guys (using G3s btw) and then retreated. Apparently they thought it was a good day because they had only one casualty. It looked just like some military operation in Afghanistan or whatever.

Awesome headcam view of CORE taking out some bad guys (this video actually was a polemic subject in brazilian media since it was released claiming that they have moved the bodies from the crime scene - WARNING! GRAPHIC IMAGES!)

These guys seem pretty tactical and ready to kick in some doors for an Investigatory branch can you shed some more light on how these different units do their jobs? The investigation side are they detectives or do they field street officers as it seems here or are they using special units to make entry at dangerous locations in order to do investigations or something completely different?

Awesome pictures mate! Do you have any from CIOSAC?

The best units have pretty similar training and are prepared to respond to any situation. It also depends on who gets the call when something happens if it was a Policia Militar operation they will call their guys and if it was a Policia Civil investigation/operation they will call their own guys.

I thought they were a patrol unit like ROTA instead of a SPECOPS unit but i will look for some pictures of them. Feel free to contribute to thread too.

The policemen from this picture are investigators detectives if you may the Policia Civil doesn't patrol streets. They are as you've deduced special units to make entry at dangerous locations to aprehend suspects and the likes of it. Units like these on the Policia Civil were born out of simple jealousy of the Military Police (Gendarmerie) counterparts since they were the ones to originaly field tactical intervention and urban warfare units. Though they often cooperate on the field in order to suplement the number of tactical operators.
