📋 Tender Overview
The Minister of Justice and Public Security, Flávio Dino, participated, on the afternoon of this Tuesday (5), in the ceremony to hand over vehicles to the Civil and Military Police of Maranhão and, also, for municipalities in the state. During the event, vehicles were also delivered under the National Public Security with Citizenship Program (Pronasci 2) to strengthen municipal guards. The ceremony was held in the Hall of Events at Palácio dos Leões, headquarters of the government of the State of Maranhão.
Seven vehicles were delivered for use by the Military Police, seven vehicles for use by the Civil Police and seven vehicles through Pronasci 2. These will be exclusive to the municipal guards in the cities of São Luís, São José de Ribamar, Santa Inês, Caxias, Balsas , Empress and Timon. Five vehicles will later be delivered to the municipalities of Alto Alegre do Maranhão, Bom Jardim, Barra do Corda, Presidente Dutra and Zé Doca.
Minister Flávio Dino stated that the act of signing the delivery of the vehicles brought together three aspects. He cited the actions of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security and the National Public Security Fund, including the delivery of a bus, this Wednesday (6), to the Military Police. And also, an amendment from the Maranhão federal bench aimed at public safety, which will deliver motorcycles and vehicles to ten municipalities.
In this sense, the parliamentary amendment obtained an SUV truck destined for the 1st Military Police Battalion of the Itaqui-Bacanga area and 20 motorcycles adapted for individual urban patrolling in the municipalities of Bernardo do Mearim, Duque Bacelar, Fernando Falcão, Fortuna, Igarapé Grande, Itaipava do Grajaú, Jenipapo dos Vieiras, Lago do Junco, Santa Filomena do Maranhão and Tuntum.
“These acts by the Ministry of Justice and Public Security are carried out in partnership with the government of the State of Maranhão. And I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that we are starting a new Ministry program in which there is direct support for municipal guards. With this, we are showing all the dimensions of Susp, the Public Public Security System, in which we have, on the one hand, federative articulation and, on the other, international cooperation”, said the minister.
Operation
Flávio Dino referred to Operation Dakovo, a partnership between the Federal Police of Brazil and the Police of Paraguay. “It is an unprecedented, successful and historic operation against arms trafficking, which means quality and efficiency in the fight against criminal organizations in our country,” he stated. According to him, an import operation involving thousands of rifles and pistols from manufacturers in European countries was identified. “The weapons were internalized in Paraguay, through a company, and clandestinely transferred to Brazilian gangs, unfortunately causing this cycle of violence that we have been following for a few decades in Brazil,” he said.
The operation, reported the minister, initially seized R$66 million in goods. “The figures will certainly be even higher. Today, 2,325 weapons were seized, especially pistols. And there was, above all, the dismantling of this criminal flow that came from this international and transnational relationship”, highlighted Flávio Dino.
Innovation
The governor of Maranhão, Carlos Brandão, thanked the minister for the visit, as well as other representatives of the MJSP and the arrival of more vehicles for the state's public security. “We are very grateful for the support from the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, during this year, with the delivery of much-needed vehicles and equipment to the Civil and Military Police. And now, with the news of innovating, in partnership with municipalities, in supporting municipal guards, we are expanding our work in the area of ??public security. The people who benefit from this are the population,” he explained.
Also participating in the event were the deputy executive secretary of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, Diego Galdino, and the director of Management of the National Public Security Fund of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, Larissa Abdala, as well as representatives of the Executive, Legislative and and Judiciary, military and ecclesiastical authorities and civil society.
