MUNICIPAL INTEGRATED PUBLIC SECURITY MANAGEMENT OFFICE: ITS IMPORTANCE FOR THE MILITARY POLICE AND ITS IMPACT ON LOCAL PUBLIC SECURITY

Abstract

Public security in Brazil, traditionally assigned to federal and state entities, has undergone a process of functional decentralization, with municipalities assuming an increasingly relevant role in the formulation of preventive and situational policies. In this context, the creation of the Municipal Integrated Public Security Management Office (GGI-M) stands out as a governance instrument that enables coordination between state agencies, the Military Police, Municipal Guards, and local administrators, allowing for greater effectiveness in implementing public security policies. This article aims to analyze the importance of the GGI-M as an institutional mechanism for integration and federative cooperation, highlighting its contribution to crime reduction and the promotion of urban order. Furthermore, the relevance of the Military Police as a coordinating and driving force in the creation of these offices is emphasized, due to its capillarity and constant presence within local communities. The research is based on case studies, legislative analysis, and literature review. It concludes that, although municipalities have limited constitutional powers, their actions, when coordinated through the GGI-M, prove strategic for building safer cities.
