THE ACTION OF THE MILITARY POLICE AND THE PRESERVATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Environmental preservation is a topic of great relevance for the whole society and for this it is necessary that some agency is responsible for it, therefore, the objective of this work is to present how the Environmental Military Police acts to combat environmental crimes; describe the importance of the environment to life on Earth; list the relevant legislation in relation to Environmental Management and address the ostensible environmental policing, as a way to prevent and even repress existing environmental crimes. To this end, we used the methodology of descriptive bibliographic research in pre-existing materials of several authors and in journals and academic works. The results show that the ostensible policing carried out by the Military Police, in several actions in the intervention and environmental preservation, has minimized environmental aggressions. Relating the role of the Military Police to preserve public order and the right to a balanced environment, the Police also acts in the environment, considering that an environment in disorder can cause problems for the population, supervising the actions that the human being practices against the environment, in addition to providing environmental education, guiding society in favor of the preservation and protection of the environment.
