The Federal Police received this Thursday (24) another jet, the Embraer E175, the second aircraft to be added to the institution’s fleet, which has 12 aircraft. The handover ceremony took place in the hangar of the Aviation Coordination-CAV, of the Federal Police Department.
The aircraft produced by Embraer will be used to transfer prisoners, move police officers and transport cargo and equipment, in addition to helping other Forces that need it.
