Security Forces

To ensure the safety of revelers at carnival events, the Security and Rescue Forces will remain on the streets 24 hours a day, both in Manaus and in cities in the interior of Amazonas.

Integrated personnel from the Military Police (PMAM) and Civil Police (PC-AM), Fire Department (CBMAM) and teams from the State Secretariat of Public Security (SSP-AM) will operate.

Under the responsibility of the Military Police, 2,500 police officers will carry out policing in the capital to ensure greater security for the population.

“All of our troops, in all types of policing, will be working. This policing will take place not only at party spots, but throughout the city. Together with the other security bodies, we will guarantee a peaceful celebration for everyone”, said the general commander of the Military Police, Colonel Klinger Paiva.

Stay of children and adolescents

Children up to 12 years old will not be able to watch the samba school parade at the Convention Center. For children aged 5 to 12 who will be parading, it will be necessary to have a permit and documentation from the Children and Youth Offenders Court. The decision was aligned by the Court with the State Government bodies, the Union of Carnival Blocks and other institutions for the protection of children and adolescents.

Teenagers aged 12 to 18 must carry an identification document with a photo to watch and remain at the samba school parades, in addition to being accompanied.
