The Coordenadoria de Recursos Especiais (Portuguese for Coordination of Special Assets), best known by its acronym CORE, is the police tactical unit of the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro State. It was formed on 4 July 1969 and is comparable to São Paulo's GOE.
Its structure is composed of the following operating units:
CORE has armoured vehicles, popularly known caveirões, used mainly in operations where conflict with drug traffickers is likely. The main purpose of these armoured vehicles is to protect trim elements and destroy barriers used by drug traffickers. Armoured vehicles are still essential in supporting the rescue of trapped police units and in removing the wounded from confrontations.
