With over 15 years of executive security experience, we offer Brazil's most advanced and discrete transportation solutions
introduction.content
São Paulo has the world's second-largest civilian helicopter fleet with over 400 active aircraft, reflecting the critical need for secure executive transport. Official Civil Police data shows 932 daily vehicle theft/robbery incidents nationally, with transportation terminals accounting for 49.89% of crimes in São Paulo. Our expertise combines Brazilian Army-certified armored vehicles following NATO STANAG 4569 standards, drivers with military/police experience, and coordination with local authorities.
Brazil's security landscape presents mixed trends: while the homicide rate has dropped to 17.9 per 100,000 inhabitants (lowest in a decade), express kidnapping and opportunistic crimes against executives remain elevated, particularly during rush hours (06:00-09:00 and 17:00-19:00). Foreign executives are preferred targets due to perceived higher financial capacity and limited knowledge of local criminal dynamics.
Our executive transportation services in Brazil range from discrete armored vehicles with specialized drivers to complex convoy operations with multiple vehicles, surveillance countermeasures, and air support. We follow Federal Police regulations (IN 70/78) requiring biannual psychological assessments for drivers, utilize over 1.5 million ANATEL-certified tracking devices, and maintain direct coordination with the Unified Public Security System (SUSP) for emergency response.

Positive Security Trends
Homicide Rate Reduction
Brazil's homicide rate dropped to 17.9 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2024, representing the lowest rate of the decade. This significant reduction indicates improvements in public security policies and police effectiveness.
Improved Police Coordination

Persistent Challenges
Transportation Criminality
932 daily vehicle theft/robbery incidents occur nationally, with transportation terminals representing 49.89% of crimes in São Paulo. Executives remain preferred targets due to perceived higher financial capacity.
High-Risk Time Periods
Elevated risks during rush hours (06:00-09:00 and 17:00-19:00) when executives are most vulnerable in transit. Express kidnapping and opportunistic crimes are more common during these periods.
