RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - The state of Rio de Janeiro further reinforced its security force for the 2014 World Cup games last week on Friday, June 6th, when almost a thousand new Military Police officers graduated from the Curso de Formação de Soldados (Training Course for Soldiers).
The 979 male and 10 female graduates comprise the largest Military Police graduating class in the state since 1809 and will be employed to both strengthen security during the games and to aid with the ongoing Police Pacification Unit (UPP) program.
