- The battalion is a local infectious. If you come here, has to be motivated. Even if the guy comes here and does not like, just catching the virus from the sport, which is our outlet. In addition, binds several people, which is important in a place like BOPE - says Sergeant Dantas, marathon runner and one of the greatest supporters of racing in coporação.
The track meet starts early BOPE. At 8am you must be present in the battalion to warm up before starting activity. Although there is a group more experienced in the matter, which participates in marathons and long distance events, the commander requires all train "the minimum necessary," as the police. This represents one run over 10 to 12 kilometers from the streets of the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro. Practice in the sand hills and other terrain types are also part of everyday life of the corporation.
'The machine turns with each one in their place'
The most "riders" are used to train own account, as part of evidence with professional and amateur athletes. This year, the Challenge of Peace Bridge and the Race goals have been achieved by members of the elite. The next target is the River Marathon, with its 42 miles, and for that, they train 100 to 150 miles per week.
Besides the races, the physical preparation of the "skulls" includes the practice of activities such as wrestling, skydiving, climbing, triathlon and weightlifting. The battalion has also started doing rugby recently, although this is not a priority sport in the area. But the football, because of the injuries it causes, is card off the deck (see the video) .

division by performance, drills separate riot police in two: one that goes out to those responsible for fighting and playing the administrative part of the battalion, who are mostly police officers are older and have a greater knowledge of operating area of \u200b\u200bthe bureaucratic Bope.
routine frontline is a bit more pull. In some cases, police to go and fight, before returning home the next day, must comply strictly tactical instruction and activities for physical education. But the other group, spends much time in the battalion, has more time to train.
- The BOPE is the spearhead, but not just work with them. There is also the group which makes the spin battalion, which performs administrative tasks, managing food, accommodation and daily scale. The machine turns with each in their posts. But if the case goes on the road too. If a play called, the third team (management) and closes out the battalion in combat. So have to be all world prepared - Das concludes.
