The historical absence of effective public policies and continuous state presence has created a favorable environment for the consolidation of criminal factions such as Família do Norte (FDN), Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), and Comando Vermelho (CV), which compete for control over river and land trafficking routes in the Alto Solimões region. The research adopts a qualitative and bibliographic approach, based on the analysis of official documents, legislation, strategic plans, and academic studies on border security. The study is guided by the hypothesis that effective combat against transnational crimes in the Amazon requires real-time integration between police, military, and intelligence agencies, articulated through programs such as the Border Strategic Plan (PEF), the Integrated Border Protection Program (PPIF), and the Integrated Border Monitoring System (SISFRON), combined with international cooperation with Colombia, Peru, and multilateral organizations.
