POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE AS A STRATEGY IN PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE STATE OF PARANÁ

Abstract

This paper discusses political intelligence as an Institutional public security strategy capable of overcoming dissonant programs/projects in Paraná's reality. For this purpose, the attempts to implement community police in the State of Paraná in the final two decades of the 20th century are adopted as a case study. The qualitative research and bibliographic exploration points out some possible mistakes made by different governments in the application of these policies, mainly due to the perpetuation of colonial thinking in the social imaginary that contaminates the political forces of the state when they import projects from other social/cultural realities to the public security in Paraná. Furthermore, it is perceived that such community policing programs are vile because they are conceived as government programs and not state programs, alternating to the same extent as the alternation of representatives occurs. With a propositional character, it is estimated that institutional investment in political intelligence can constitute an interesting strategy for advising public security forces insofar as they can anticipate possible interference.
