Talk:Law enforcement in Brazil

message: The article currently says "Army, Navy and Air Force police units are not to be confused with the state Military Police. These are internal security units of each Armed Forces branch. They do not have general order maintenance or law enforcement functions." I read in the paper that there's some discussion about changing the Constitution to allow for the Army to be used for law enforcement. It seems it is already used in Rio de Janeiro for that purpose.

replies: text: The Armed Forces have in fact been involved in street operations at times of emergency. However, save for these exceptional situations, they never patrol streets or investigate crime. Since they have never been consistently and systematically involved in general law enforcement duties, they do not have assignments related to typical police activities. Furthermore, they are not listed in article 144 of the Federal Constitution, so they cannot be considered “police institutions”. There has always been an intense debate calling for a change in this scenario, but so far no conclusion has been reached. Sparks1979 15:35, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: No problem, I will add "In times of emergency, the Army has been called upon to maintain order, most notably in Rio de Janeiro". What do you think? Sparks1979 15:06, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Brazilian federal constitution, only the state military polices could enforce law on urban and rural environment. Army are just to protect country against foreign attacks.--Officer Boscorelli (talk) 17:49, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Is there any information that can be added regarding the different ranks of the Brazilian police as well as a general structure regarding the different divisions of the Brazilian police? ~QuasiAbstract {talk/contrib} 19:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I rewrote, improving, the entry requirements description. The previous version stated that just an academic test allows the entry and that's absolutely not true in any of the Brazilian forces.
