This article analyzes the institutional, legal, and operational feasibility of creating the Border Operations Command within the Military Police of Amazonas (COD/PMAM), considering the territorial specificities of the Amazon region, the dynamics of transnational organized crime, and the need for specialized river policing. The objective is to understand how the structuring of a large operational command, with its own doctrine, adequate personnel, subordinate battalions, and permanent river logistics, can strengthen preventive territorial control and improve the efficiency of public security in the state. The methodology adopted is qualitative, bibliographic, and documentary, based on constitutional, administrative, and criminological analysis, as well as studies on public security and territorial dynamics in the Amazon. The results indicate that the creation of COD/PMAM represents an institutional measure compatible with the Amazonian reality, capable of expanding state presence in border areas, reducing illicit flows, and strengthening preventive policing by the Military Police of Amazonas. It is concluded that operational specialization constitutes an essential instrument for confronting organized crime in the region.
