These vehicles adapted according to the requirements defined in tests and reviews the Special Police Operations Battalion (BOPE) and Police Battalion Shock (SHOCK) of PMERJ and Coordination of Special Resources (CORE) of the Civil Police, version were acquired by SESEG (Department of State Security of Rio de Janeiro), for major events to be held in this State, after intensive reviews of the Military and Civil Police officers and a very troubled bid by the attempt to offer a lower priced vehicles, but totally inadequate to the function.
Google translate lets us down a bit but long story short, Brazil just got their elite heavy hitters some new rides.

Off topic but has anyone else noted how desperate nations all over the planet are to beef up their internal security forces?  I can't explain it but it really appears that leaders everywhere are as nervous about internal threats as they are about outside forces.
