A percepção do policial sobre o policiamento comunitário: uma análise necessária a gestão nas bases comunitárias de segurança de Salvador.

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the perception of the public security professional who works directly with community policing in the Community Safety Bases of Salvador, specifically in the neighborhoods of Calabar and Alto das Pombas, as a necessary element for the management of the Bases. In this way, it was questioned how the professionals directly involved in the actions of the community policing perceive their participation so that the security management in the Community Bases of Security, smaller unit to treat the crime, actually takes place? A scenario of increasing violence and an instrument capable of provoking the necessary changes in the police. It is thus that, faced with the social yearnings by a new police, which intensified, mainly, after the Citizen Constitution of 1988, and against the necessity to include the citizen in the process of making and to be agent of public security that the community policing is highlighted in the debates that deal with social control, violence control and social participation. With this there is no doubt the rupture of the model of policing, called the traditional one to assume a citizen, but community version. This implied that prevention would guide work from that point forward and that police and society would stop moving in the opposite direction and would continue to be integrated in the search for satisfactory solutions to contain a contagious sense of insecurity. Thus, it was an exploratory research carried out through the field research, with the police servers of the Calabar Community Safety Base, which aimed to identify how these servers perceive the importance of their work through a quanti-qualitative approach, which made possible a broader view of the issue. The results showed that practitioners recognized the practice as an important tool, but that they still have to overcome many steps in order to achieve the ideal goal.
