Paulo Storani, ex-BOPE captain, talks public security and UPPs in Rio de Janeiro

Paulo Storani is one of the real life inspirations for the character Capitão Nascimento in the Tropa de Elite films. A BOPE captain for five of his 17 years in Rio de Janeiro's Military Police, he has a Master's in anthropology, teaches and conducts research at four area universities, was the secretary of public security in the city of São Gonçalo, gives motivational speeches, and is a public security consultant.

Between two of these speeches, Captain Storani told Rio Radar about why BOPE is still essential to Rio, why it is moving its headquarters to Complexo do Maré, why militias are "the problem of the decade," why the UPP is a short-term project that will not solve Rio's public security problems, and the #1 solution to change this.
