Integration
“The operation reinforces the integration between federal and state police forces and demonstrates the joint commitment to defending childhood and adolescence. Operation Integral Protection III continues the previous editions, launched in March and May 2025, highlighting the Federal Police’s permanent work in this combat front,” the PF stated.
Agency data indicate that between January and September this year, more than 1,630 arrest warrants for fugitives convicted of sexual crimes were executed.
“The Federal Police alerts parents and guardians to the importance of monitoring and guiding the internet use of children and adolescents, openly discussing risks and teaching how to respond to inappropriate contacts in virtual environments. Prevention and information are the most effective tools to ensure the safety and well-being of children and adolescents,” the Federal Police concluded.
