Military Police of Pará trains 14 operators in the 1st Mounted Shock Course
Unprecedented training reinforces the strategic role of the troop in complex operations and in the security of COP30
The Military Police of Pará trained, this Monday (26), 14 new operators specialized in the use of mounted troops in actions for controlling and restoring public order. The closing ceremony of the 1st Mounted Shock Course was held in the auditorium of the General Command Headquarters (QCG) in Belém, marking the completion of an unprecedented training in the State.
Among the graduates are 10 police officers from the Mounted Police Regiment (RPMont), one from the 2nd Special Missions Battalion (BME), two officers from the National Police of Peru, and one officer from the Civil Guard of Spain. The qualification ensures the technical mastery necessary to face crisis situations, both at the state level and in international cooperation missions. The graduates now wear the traditional "black spurs," a symbol of the mounted elite of the Corporation.
Promoted by the Special Missions Command (CME), the course took place from April 22 to May 22, with a total workload of 350 hours, distributed across 13 practical and theoretical subjects, aimed exclusively at military personnel with prior training in mounted troops.
International integration and technical excellence
During the ceremony, 1st Lieutenant Guzman Castro Walter Alberto from the National Police of Peru highlighted the transformative impact of the training. "The training goes beyond technique. It teaches universal values: discipline, responsibility, loyalty, and love for justice. Riding a horse is not just an operational skill; it is a school of character," emphasized the officer.
The general commander of the Military Police of Pará emphasized the strategic role of the cavalry in the security of COP30, a global UN event on climate change that will be held in Belém at the end of this year.
"The knowledge acquired in this course will be fundamental for one of the most important events in the world. The mounted troop, with its technique and visual impact, will be essential to ensure public order during COP30," he stated.
2nd Lieutenant Filipe, the top student of the class, also highlighted the technical level of the training.
"The course incorporated international and national doctrines, such as those from Portugal, Brasília, and Espírito Santo. We leave here prepared to act with safety and precision in any crisis scenario," he declared.
Support from families - The ceremony also recognized the role of families in the success of the training. Miriam Maciel, wife of the top student, celebrated the achievement.
"The course demands a lot from the police officers and their families. Being emotionally present makes all the difference. We celebrate this victory, which is a source of pride for all of us," she emphasized.
