By Jornal O Globo - 27/9/2007
RIO DE JANEIRO - The Pan American Games Rio 2007, held on July 13 to 29, left to the city of Rio de Janeiro an important legacy in the security area. The Public National Security Department (Senasp) decided to transfer to Rio de Janeiro Government 500 out of the 700 vehicles that reinforced the police patrolling of the city during the Games. These 500 units will be added to other 632 new cars acquired in September by the State Government to be used by the Military Police. With these new vehicles, almost 100% of the Metropolitan Region fleet will be renewed up to the end of the year. Other 200 vehicles used in Rio 2007 will be distributed through other cities of the country.
