A formação profissional em segurança pública na Paraíba : avaliação do curso de formação de oficiais da polícia militar e sua contribuição para a segurança cidadã (2022-2024)

Abstract

This research paper focuses on analyzing the public policy of professional higher education proposed by the National Secretariat of Public Security to all state military police forces in Brazil, more specifically the evaluation of its implementation in Paraíba, between 2022 and 2024, in the Officer Training Course (CFO). The objective is to understand whether this training has contributed to the construction of a professional profile appropriate to the current challenges of citizen security, based on the construction of institutional values guided by the defense of human rights and citizenship, established by the democratic rule of law. To this end, the methodology used was descriptive field research, with a qualitative approach, which was carried out with data collection through the use of a questionnaire applied to students in the last year of the OTC. As a result, it was found that there is a 97% compatibility between the training offered to student officers of the Military Police of Paraíba, in relation to the model established by the National Secretariat of Public Security, both by the comparative analysis between the aforementioned curricula and by the perception of the graduates. Considering the breadth of possible approaches within the theme of police education, there is still much content that needs to be explored in depth. This work was dedicated to only one content among the myriad of options available.
