Rio de Janeiro public saftety authorities will be responsible for "protecting around 860,000 people" watching the 2016 Olympic Games, according to Ronald Lincoln Jr. of ESTADÃO. These security guards "will control all competition locations, training centers," and the Olympic Village, which "represents 41% of all installations." The exception will be "stadiums that will host football games -- which should rely on private security." Brazilian Ministry of Justice Secretary of Security for Large Events Andrei Rodrigues said, "We'll take duty on July 5 of 2016 and we'll remain there until 10 days after the Paralympics final." Rodrigues said that there will be a team of six Rio public security agents who were recently in Boston to "exchange experiences about preventing terrorism attempts," given the events of the 2013 Boston Marathon. He added that the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (ABIN) "presented a Center of Intelligence project" for the Games in which "more than 100 countries expressed interest in collaborating." Rodrigues: "Brazil guarantees a level of quality security that it has always guaranteed at large events. During the World Cup, we had a good atmosphere thanks to the combined efforts of all" (ESTADÃO, 5/6).
