In Rio de Janeiro there is seamless integration between the three levels of government with regards to security matters. We described our concept of proximity policing to the Commission members today which includes social projects and interaction with young people in targeted communities rather than relying solely on traditional techniques for fighting crime. We are investing in training a whole new generation of police officers with varied skill sets.

We illustrated to the Commission members that we approach safety issues in an objective and transparent manner. Rio de Janeiro has proven experience in hosting major international events safely for athletes and spectators and the 2007 Games proved this once more, he said.
Medical Services, Technology and Media Operations were the other Candidature Themes presented to the IOC today. According to Mayor Eduardo Paes, the Rio 2016 team continued to impress members and showcase their strengths across every Theme. Every Theme was well developed and well presented by our experts. I firmly believe that over the course of the last week, our Bid Committee and broader team have demonstrated dedication, professionalism and the ability to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games, said Paes.
After the last presentation to the IOC Evaluation Commission, Governor Sérgio Cabral was in a visibly upbeat mood: We did well in the presentations today and clearly illustrated to the Commission members the interaction and synergy between all levels of government and the Bid Committee as we aspire to bring the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games to Brazil.
