In less than 24 hours, a military police officer threatened a colleague in uniform, pointing the gun at his face after an argument and a fight over lunch, and a civilian police officer is suspected of killing his Own fellow corporation after he argued about getting involved in a car accident.
For renowned Brazilian public security researchers, the two actions show that there is strong psychological pressure on the police in São Paulo. That said, an institutional investment must be made in the psychological health of the police in São Paulo.
Renato Sérgio de Lima, president of the Brazilian Public Safety Forum, said that the episodes show “that there is a situation of pressure so intense that, at the slightest threat or loss of control of the situation, the police give signs that it is more than urgent investment in the health of the Brazilian police “.
The public security expert cited that the SUSP (Unified Public Security System), approved in 2018, has already created a national professional development program. “But, until now, governments have not put it into practice and are playing with the lives of the police and the general population,” he said.
Professor Rafael Alcadipani, from the FGV (Fundação Getúlio Vargas), confirmed that “the policeman who points a gun at his superior shows that he has a very serious mental health problem that must be treated.” For him, “the question that remains is how many other policemen are not affected by this mental health condition.”
The professor cited, as an example of pressure build-up, the need for many São Paulo police officers to pay private security tips to supplement their income. “The São Paulo police face serious salary problems. The training of commanders in Brazil today is very ideological, very unscientific, it is a very closed vision. This needs to evolve a lot,” he said.
By note, the SSP (Secretariat of Public Security) confirmed the arrest of the military police who threatened the uniformed subject and the arrest of the civilian policeman suspected of killing the colleague of the corporation. “SSP emphasizes that both institutions offer support and monitoring programs to their staff,” he said.
