Until then, this responsibility was the Army, but the transition was determined by a weapon decree signed by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in 2023
From July 1, it will be responsible for the supervision of collectors, sports gunmen and hunters (CACS) no. This significant change has been announced in and marks a new era in weapon control in the country. Until then, this responsibility was the Army, but the transition was determined by a weapon decree signed by the president in 2023. Originally, the transfer was scheduled to take place on January 1, 2025, but the Federal Police requested the anticipation of the deadline, citing the need for time to prepare properly for the new function.
To ensure a soft and effective transition, the Federal Police requested an additional $ 30 million in funds. In response to this request, the Ministry of Justice and Public Security confirmed the allocation of R $ 20 million for the implementation of new inspection structures. Manuel Carlos Almeida Neto, executive secretary of the ministry, announced that weed arms control police stations will be created in all the capitals of Brazil and the Federal District. In addition, 96 weapon control nuclei will be established at Federal Police stations in the interior of the country. The entire transition process will be supervised by the General Coordination of Arms Control of the Federal Police, ensuring that the change occurs in an organized and efficient way.
Until June 30, CACS will inspect the army’s responsibility. However, from July 1, the Federal Police will take control unless new changes are implemented.
