The long -awaited Lady Gaga Show in Copacabana in the south of Rio, it should attract a crowd of approximately 1.6 million people this Saturday (3), according to estimates.
Of these, 240,000 should be tourists – 80% foreign and 20% national, according to the study “potential economic impacts of the Lady Gaga show in Rio – 2025”. To ensure the safety of the event, the Rio de Janeiro government set up a security operation, with about 5,300 agents operating in the perimeter of the event.
Among the measures are the use of drones.
The information was confirmed during a press conference, held on the morning of Monday (28) and gathered representatives of the public security agencies.
Security belt and blockages in Copacabana
The plan foresees 78 observation towers and 18 magazine and block points, which extend from the rudder to almost the height of Ipanema, with the aim of preventing the access of unauthorized persons and ensuring the integrity of all present.
The cross streets to Avenida Atlântica, from post 6 to Leme, will be completely blocked with grids from 11am Saturday morning. So no one can access the beach by these ways.
Discreet and strategic presence of the Military Police
The Military Police will be on the field with a strategy that prioritizes security and integration with the public. Military police identified by white helmets will be spread between the crowd, allowing quick and discreet interventions. In addition, materials such as glass bottles, knives and scissors will not be allowed during the event and will be seized at the control points.
According to Colonel Marcelo de Menezes, Secretary of Military Police of the State, this tactic aims to increase the perception of security among participants and, at the same time, offer immediate response to any incident.
State -of -the -art technology for monitoring
The operation will have advanced technologies, such as the Integrated Command and Control Center (CICC Mobile), equipped with Facial Recognition Drones allowing the identification of criminals and the action of the authorities.
Security cameras will also play a key role in surveillance, with 12 new cameras being installed along Our Lady of Copacabana, increasing real -time monitoring.
Safety at hotels, airports and subway stations
The operation also extends to the busiest points of the city, with special attention to hotels, airports and subway entries. About 80 police and 40 vehicles will be in action to ensure that all the city’s main entries and exits are closely monitored, avoiding any possibility of violence or riot on access roads.
Operation Tatuí: Protection in the sands of Copacabana
The “Operation Tatuí” will be carried out by the City Hall, through the Municipal Secretariat of Public Order and Comlurb. In order to prevent sharp objects or weapons from being hidden in the beach sand, the operation will make a thorough comb in the area, avoiding drags and violence on the waterfront.
Fire Department Support
Security is not limited to the ground only. The Fire Department will have a coordinated performance in the land, air and maritime areas, ensuring that any emergency is quickly attended. The security scheme resembles that used at Madonna’s show, being one of the most rigorous and well planned ever seen in the city.
Dry Law and Blitz Intensification
Dry law is one of the safety measures that will be implemented to ensure order during the event. Blitz will be intensified not only in the Copacabana region, but also in other strategic points in the metropolitan region, focusing on preventing incidents related to excessive alcohol consumption.
