IPA Brasil is pleased to invite members to the 3rd edition of Favela on Duty, running from 19–30 September. This international police exchange programme offers participants first-hand experience with Rio de Janeiro’s specialised police units in high-intensity urban environments. Officers will take part in operational and theoretical training, visit local police units, and engage in CORE and special forces activities, including time in uniform.
Alongside professional policing, participants will enjoy cultural and tourism experiences, including excursions to Ilha Grande, visits to historical prisons, helicopter tours, iconic Rio landmarks, and basic Brazilian culinary experiences. The programme concludes with continued engagement with special forces and a symbolic tree-planting activity.
Due to its physically demanding nature, the programme is not recommended for elderly officers or those with physical limitations, and some elements may not suit officers with halal dietary restrictions.
