Acre Civil Police agent (PCAC), José Juscelino Brasil, completed intense training aimed at operations in aquatic environments, focusing on rivers and streams of the Amazon region. For 40 days, he participated in the vessel operational riding course, promoted by the Acre Military Fire Department (CBMAC), in the Juruá Valley area where river transport is essential to access several isolated communities.

With a load of 540 class hours, the training combined theory and practical, including content such as popa engines, tail systems, operational swimming techniques, fluctuation and aquatic rescue using a mechanaut. Among the practical exercises, participants faced two major challenges: an international mission, with travel through the rivers of Bolivia and Peru, and an interstate simulation of real rescue situations in remote areas.
According to Juscelino, the course significantly expands the capacity of the Civil Police in places that are difficult to access. “Now I can act more safely in operations where you only arrive by boat. This strengthens the presence of the state in regions where it is often the last to arrive,” he said. The initiative is part of the institution’s effort to adapt its operations to Acre’s geography, where rivers are as strategic as highways.
