Utilização da força policial em situações de flagrância na cidade de Picos: análise dos limites legais e consequências jurídicas

Abstract

There has been extensive discussion about the role of Military Police in Brazil. From this context, it can be inferred that a significant part of Brazilian society is not familiar with the methods and procedures used to ensure the safety of individuals, the protection of property, and the prevailing social order. In this sense, it is essential to emphasize that public security must be planned and executed in a way that guarantees human dignity, avoiding repressive approaches that view offenders as enemies of society. The proposal for citizen security seeks to establish a policing model that prioritizes prevention and conflict resolution, promoting community participation in the security process. In light of this, this study analyzed potential means of legitimate police intervention, within legal parameters, in situations of flagrant offenses in the city of Picos. The importance of using force legally and proportionately by the Military Police was considered. The research was conducted through a bibliographic methodology along with a systematic analysis, employing a qualitative investigative method, which allowed for the assessment of the theme related to the legal institutes that confer legitimacy to arrests in flagrante, as well as the use of force by the military police. In conducting this study, it was identified that the current approach model adopted by the Military Police of Piauí is similar to the Canadian model, which stands out for its emphasis on collaboration, prevention, and community engagement, highlighting the partnership between the police and the community. The police work in partnership with citizens to identify and resolve local security issues.
