By position, Amazonas Civil Police delegates have an average gross salary of R$39,826.59 and an average net salary of R$28,291.23. The career has the second highest average in the country, behind only Ceará, with R$41,200.96. The national average for delegates is R$30,890.05. Among clerks, Amazonas leads the national ranking, with an average gross salary of R$24,875.71 and a net salary of R$17,634.34. The value is above the Brazilian average for the career, of R$ 12,918.66. Researchers receive an average gross remuneration of R$25,487.70 and a net remuneration of R$18,113.59. The value also places Amazonas in the national leadership among the states. The Brazilian average for a career is R$13,695.65. Staff deficit Despite remuneration above the national average, the Civil Police of Amazonas faces a staff shortage. According to the study, the corporation has 1,891 active civil police officers, while state legislation provides for 3,155 vacancies. The number represents around 59.9% of the expected workforce, leaving more than 40% of vacancies unfilled. The survey points out that the shortage of servers can cause overload on teams, an accumulation of inquiries and difficulties in investigating crimes. Territorial extension increases the challenge Criminal groups joined the rivers to drain drugs Disclosure/PC-AM The study also highlights that the territorial dimension of Amazonas imposes additional challenges for the Civil Police's actions. The proportion of civil police officers per inhabitant in the state is 0.4 officers for every thousand inhabitants, close to the national average of 0.5. However, when considering the territorial extension, the scenario changes. Each civil police officer active in Amazonas is responsible, on average, for an area of ??824 km², almost ten times higher than the national average of 82 km² per officer. The distance between municipalities and the difficulties of travel, especially to locations only accessible by rivers, impact the service and work of teams in the interior. Women are a minority in the corporation Another point highlighted by the Brazilian Public Security Forum is female participation in the Civil Police. In Amazonas, women represent 23.1% of the corporation's workforce, a percentage below the national average of 28.4%. The data indicates that the female presence in the institution is still below that recorded in other Brazilian states.
