dc.description.resumoThis supplement aims to make explicit that, despite the enormous challenges posed by organized crime and public security in the Amazon, there are solutions — and we need to value them. In a context of governance involving complex scenarios and problems, this publication seeks to highlight initiatives with the potential to generate promising impacts on crime control, violence prevention, and the promotion of rights for territories and populations in the region. The premise that guides this document is that there is no single magic formula — no scalable, infallible recipe. On the contrary, the practices detailed below are, at their core, examples of federal or subnational initiatives that recognize the territory and its local challenges as central to the formulation and implementation of public policies. From this perspective, we selected and described eight public security and territorial protection initiatives in the Brazilian Amazon. The document presents the Integrated River Bases of Amazonas (Base Arpão Coari) and Pará, which aim to combat drug trafficking, environmental crimes, and river piracy through permanent state presence and interagency coordination. It also describes specialized programs such as “Ouro Alvo,” which uses forensic science to trace illegal gold, and “Operation Curupira,” focused on monitoring and combating deforestation in Pará. In addition, it analyzes the Integrated Force to Combat Organized Crime (FICCO) in the Amazonian context; the initiatives of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Acre (Feminicidômetro, Proteja Mulher, and Project Txai) to address gender-based violence; the complex structure of the Government House created for the Yanomami Indigenous Territory; and the various forms and strategies of Indigenous self-protection against external threats.
