Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's consulting firm is being hired by the city of Rio de Janeiro to help make the city safe for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Giuliani visited a slum in Rio on Friday and praised the city's efforts to bring order to violence-plagued areas filled with drug traffickers.
He says Rio can be a safe city before the Games begin.
The governor of Rio says the firm is being contracted to give security advice. Details of the deal were not disclosed.
Rio was awarded the 2016 Olympics in October over several cities including Chicago, Madrid, and Tokyo.
It will be the first time the Olympics are held in South America.
