Batalhão de Operações Policiais Especiais (''PMERJ'') (; literally "Special Police Operations Battalion") or BOPE is a special police unit of the Military Police of Rio de Janeiro State (''PMERJ'') in Brazil. 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 PMERJ, although probably the best known, isn't the only unit of its kind among Brazil's military police districts. Military Police of Alagoas and Military Police of Santa Catarina also call their large tactical units ''BOPE'', while the military police of the Federal District and the State of Piauí call theirs the Batalhão de Operações Especiais or BOE. ==Significant roles== * Providing additional security at special events * Break barricades constructed by drug dealers * Shoot to kill at any criminal threatening both civilian or member life * Exterminate drug trafficking criminal factions and all of its members * Extract police officers or civilians injured in confrontations and combats * Rescuing officers and citizens captured by criminals or endangered by gunfire * Serve high-risk arrest warrants * Hostage rescue * Stabilizing situations involving high-risk suicidal subjects * Suppress prison riots at any cause * Support civil police in combats of any kind * Providing superior assault firepower in certain situations * Armed patrols around the favelas * Special missions in swamps or mountainous terrains such as reconnaissance, planning and infiltration * Engage in combat serving state sovereignty * Crime suppression to minimum * Resolving high-risk situations with a minimum loss of life, injury, or property damage * Engage strongly armed criminal factions 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Batalhão de Operações Policiais Especiais」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
