Council debates motorcycle patrol and creation of Women’s Police Station in Teresópolis

The meeting took place in the auditorium of the Commercial, Industrial and Agricultural Association of Teresópolis (ACIAT) and brought together representatives of the security forces to discuss demands related to public security in the municipality.

Among the issues discussed was the implementation of the Military Police motorcycle patrol service. The forecast is that the teams will operate mainly between 6pm and 2am, a period in which, according to information presented at the meeting, there is a higher incidence of theft and robbery.

The police officers who will join the new patrol will undergo training this Thursday (12) and Friday (13).

Another topic discussed was the need to implement a Specialized Police Station for Women's Assistance (Deam) in Teresópolis. The proposal was presented during the participation of the Civil Police, which highlighted the importance of a specialized structure for women victims of violence.

Signage for the Rio-Teresópolis highway (BR-116) was also on the agenda. The Federal Highway Police (PRF) demanded improvements in road signage and highlighted the need for attention to the issue.

Among the data released, the number of street robberies fell from two records in 2025 to none in 2026. Robberies at commercial establishments went from two to one, while attempted murders decreased from six to five.

The total number of thefts also decreased, from 77 to 75 records. The number of arrests in the act increased from 71 to 96.

There were no records of cell phone theft, cargo theft or vehicle theft in the two periods analyzed.

According to the organizers, the balance presented is still preliminary. The final bulletin with consolidated public security data should be released at the end of December.
