The Military Police of Pará announced the planning of Operation Sairé 2025, which began last Saturday (13) and will continue until September 22, in the Balneária village of Alter do Chão, in Santarém.

The operation will feature visible policing at various points in the village, including the Sairé Square and the 7th of September Square, as well as reinforcement at bus stops in Santarém. The security scheme includes foot, mounted, and motorized policing, with four and two-wheeled vehicles, in addition to the deployment of cavalry personnel and drones for monitoring.
During the ten days of programming, the Military Police mobilizes 615 police officers, distributed under the Stronger Police program and in ordinary service and extraordinary shifts. The units responsible for reinforcing policing are the Regional Policing Command I (CPR I), the 3rd BPM, and the 35th BPM, as well as the 1st Environmental Policing Company (Cipamb) and the 2nd Special Missions Battalion (BME).
