Federal Police’s New $58 Million Building Bolsters Security in Santos
The Federal Police will gain a new headquarters built beside the Port of Santos entrance channel. The project agreement for the executive design was signed on Thursday the 19th. Signatories were Ports and Airports Minister Silvio Costa Filho and APS president Anderson Pomini.
Project site and layout
The site is at Praça Almirante Gago Coutinho s/n, opposite the Santos Convention Center. It sits beside the Terminal Pesqueiro Público in Ponta da Praia.
The building will rise ten floors. It will host both operational and administrative units for the delegation.
Funding and purpose
Construction cost is R$58 million. The sum was provided by AG-Fips to the Port Authority as part of port infrastructure contracts.
The facility aims to increase security in cargo movement and to fight international drug trafficking and organized crime. This new $58 million building also bolsters security for Santos’ port operations.
Strategic importance
Minister Silvio Costa Filho said the project will strengthen governance and improve monitoring of port operations. He tied the initiative to other strategic works such as Parque Valongo and the Santos-Guarujá tunnel.
APS president Anderson Pomini said the headquarters will be a visible presence at the channel entrance. He said it signals to visiting countries that institutions are organized to project the port of the future.
Ceremony and attendees
The signing and foundation-laying ceremony took place on the future building site. The act marked the start of the executive design phase for the project.
Mayor Rogério Santos was represented by Júlio Eduardo dos Santos, secretary of the municipal Casa Civil. Also present were federal deputy Paulo Alexandre Barbosa and Guarujá mayor Farid Madi.
