BOPE (Batalhão de Operações Policiais Especiais) is the elite unit in the Military Police in Brazil.
BOPE is composed of over 400 members and was created in 1978.
In Brazil, there are over 960 favelas, or slums, which house more than 1.6 million people. One of every five residents of the country live here.
One of the BOPE’s biggest enemies is the Comando Vermelho (Red Command), the largest gang in the favelas on Brazil
There are an estimated 210,000 weapon traffickers in Brazil.
BOPE is believed to be one of the most efficient military forces in Latin America due to the nature of crime in favelas, BOPE units have extensive experience in urban warfare as well as progression in confined and restricted environments. It also utilizes equipment deemed more powerful than traditional civilian law enforcement.

BOPE is the real deal. Awesome gang.
ReplyDeleteBope are my favorites. nice is that there are ...
ReplyDeleteWith BOPE worldwide there wouldnt be any gangs ;)
ReplyDeleteSo what you saying is, there is no gangs in Brazil? If they are that good, and I have no doubt they may be good, how come the violence continue to increase in such areas? Just saying... Also keep in mind, you are as good as a fighter as the enemy you fight!!!
DeleteSou fã destes caras....
ReplyDeleteYou got some numbers and facts wrong. One of every five citizens live in slums? that'd make 10 40 million citizens in slums, and thats just a wrong fact; also bope is one of, if not THE most efficient military forces on the planet, since only one officer has died in combat to this day, and less than five have gotten injured in combat. But anyways, thanks for posting the info.
ReplyDeletesorry, i meant 40 million, not 1040
ReplyDeletethey did get the facts wrong, one of every 5 people from Rio de Janeiro(only the capital not the state of Rio de Janeiro) live in slums.
ReplyDeleteKeep us Updated
