Civil Police of Rondônia - Draco Civil Police/Disclosure Rondônia has only 28.1% of the number of civil police officers that the law determines as necessary, which places the state with the largest deficit in the country. The data comes from the Security Forces X-Ray study, published by the Brazilian Public Security Forum (FBSP) this Tuesday (4). Currently, there are 1,500 agents in the Civil Police of Rondônia, when there should be 5,300, generating a deficit of more than 70%. Considering the territorial area of ??the state, there is only one civil police officer for every 158 km². ?The staff deficit is not exclusive to the Civil Police, although it is more pronounced there. In Rondônia, the Criminal Police operates with just 35.8% of the expected staff. The Military Police has a higher occupancy rate of 57.4%, but still lacks almost half of the vacancies that should be filled. ? The study takes into account data reported by the state public security secretariats of the 26 states and the Federal District. To outline the expected number of personnel, the Forum gathers the numbers sent by the departments and compares them with the section of each state's law that deals with police personnel. See

The report points out that the lack of more than 70% of the expected agents can cause negative results in police work, such as a drop in crime elucidation rates. ?? Civil police officers are responsible for investigating crimes officially registered at police stations. It is up to investigators and delegates to solve crimes committed against life, collect evidence, interrogate suspects and prepare inquiries sent to the courts.
