How do I request private security assistance in Brazil?
Start with the request
Share the city, the kind of assistance you are seeking and the best way to contact you. Ask which details are needed and which private channel to use for sensitive information. Avoid putting a detailed itinerary or personal information in a public message.
If you already have a confirmed engagement, use its agreed contact and escalation instructions. For a new request, ask what can be arranged, who is responsible and what remains unconfirmed.
Confirm what will happen next
Before relying on a service, request written confirmation of the scope, mobilization time, responsible provider and commercial terms. A fast acknowledgment does not establish when a team or vehicle will be available.
Ask how changes will be approved and communicated. Confirm which activities are included, which require a separately authorized provider and which are outside the proposed engagement.
Confirm who is accountable and authorized
If you are the chief of staff comparing assistance options, ask who is answerable for the whole agreed engagement and how that operator directs the authorized company executing any regulated service. Regulated armed services in Brazil are delivered by appropriately licensed local partners under Vanguard Attache direction.
Article 4 of Law 14,967/2024 requires prior Federal Police authorization for private-security services. Ask the proposal to identify the authorized executing company and provide the applicable documentation. A public inquiry or a brand name is not that evidence. Ask separately what transport insurance and any security coverage include and exclude.
Compare confirmation, scope and price
For a fictional example, suppose an assistant needs to revise a planned visit after a meeting changes. An acknowledgment from a provider confirms receipt of the message; it does not confirm a vehicle, protection service or mobilization time. Your assistant can compare a revised existing engagement with a new inquiry only after each provider states the scope and availability. Neither a quick reply nor the word “urgent” supplies that missing confirmation.
Your travel manager should ask for the quoted unit or service period, any minimum, currency, inclusions, waiting, extensions and cancellation terms. We publish no fixed rate or universal mobilization time. Name every city and confirm each separately; availability in São Paulo does not establish availability in Rio. An immediate emergency belongs with public emergency services, not this comparison process. Anatel lists 190 for police, 192 for SAMU and 193 for firefighters.
Questions about requesting assistance
Is Vanguard Attaché a public emergency service?
No. For immediate danger, contact local emergency services. Vanguard Attaché handles requests for private security assistance; availability, scope and mobilization require confirmation.
Does contacting you confirm a deployment?
No. A call, message or form submission starts an inquiry. Request written confirmation of the service, mobilization time, responsibilities and terms before relying on an arrangement.
What should I share initially?
Start with your city, a brief description of the assistance requested and a safe way to reach you. Agree on a private channel before sharing sensitive personal or itinerary details.
