In Recife, the main security point will be Avenida Mascarenhas de Moraes, where the traditional military parade will take place. A total of 931 security professionals, including military and civil police officers, will be deployed in the capital alone.

Around the avenue, security will be provided by 580 police officers from various PMPE units, in addition to 20 members of the Fire Department. Members of the SDS will also participate in the parade. Approximately 360 firefighters, 18 vehicles including rescue vehicles, fire engines, rescue trucks, and aerial platforms, as well as 4 motorcycles will participate in the September 7th parade.
