Brigada de Proteção Ambiental
The PSP's environmental protection brigade. It deals with anything that harms nature and the urban environment: illegal dumping and discharge of waste, used oil, noise, the sale of animals. It carries out inspections together with local police stations, the municipal police and the tax authority.
Where you come across it. Inspections of workshops, car washes, building sites and businesses; a complaint about fly-tipping or an illegal tip.
In the GNR the same work is split between its own units, so in the countryside complaints are handled by the GNR, and in towns by the PSP.
