Brazil is pulling out all the stops to secure Rio de Janeiro for this year’s G20 Summit, deploying a massive security operation in a city where crime rates often dominate headlines. 🚨 Over 20,000 personnel—including police, military, and federal agents—are being mobilized to protect world leaders and attendees from November 30 to December 1.
A Challenge as Big as Rio Itself
Organizers face a Marvel-level mission: transforming a sprawling metropolis known for its vibrant culture (and occasional chaos) into a tightly controlled zone. Authorities are using AI-powered surveillance systems, drone patrols, and checkpoints at key venues like RioCentro, the summit’s main hub.
‘Safety Can’t Be a Rollercoaster’
Local officials describe the effort as ‘historic,’ but residents remain skeptical. ‘We need this level of security every day, not just for tourists,’ says Marcelo Alves, a community leader in Copacabana. Still, global eyes are on Brazil to prove it can balance its signature energy with airtight logistics.
