A proposal was approved in the Chamber of Deputies that requires the creation of specialized police stations in rural crimes in cities with more than 95 thousand inhabitants. The text still needs to pass through the committees on Public Security and Combating Organized Crime; Finance and Taxation; and of Constitution and Justice and Citizenship. The information is from the Chamber Agency.
Second Evair Vieira de Melo (PP-ES), the reduction of the total population required will allow the police stations to move away from the capitals and that the police action gains greater capillarity. “We increased from 151 to 333 the number of municipalities served, while rationalizing the distribution of police stations,” he said.
Metropolitan region
The substitute creates new rules for installing these precincts in metropolitan regions and integrated regions of economic development (Ride).
Municipalities of metropolitan regions with a population above 95 thousand are without obligation, according to the project. In this case, the state executive will define in which city the police station will do, noting the need of the region and the area of coverage of the agency.
Rides will have police stations in at least one municipality of each integrated state, regardless of the population of the host city. The rides are like metropolitan regions with counties of more than one state.
Melo cited the example of the Minas Gerais municipalities of the Ride of the Federal District, that would be without a police station if the project was not altered, because none meets the populational criterion.
The states will have two years to install the police stations, otherwise they will not have access to the resources allocated to them through the National Public Security Fund (FNSP). The goal is to investigate and prevent crime, as well as dismantle gangs that operate in the rural area.
Violence
In the last two years, almost 71 thousand thefts and robberies have been registered in rural areas of Minas Gerais, Goiás and Mato Grosso, according to a report by the National Confederation of Agriculture (CNA).
According to these data, in Goiás, between 2016 and 2017, more than 1,600 cases of robberies and 11 thousand thefts were recorded on rural properties; of these, 2.7 thousand criminal actions were aimed at the theft or theft of animals.
