THE TEACHING OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE OFFICER TRAINING COURSE OF THE MILITARY POLICE OF AMAZONAS: A DOCUMENTARY ANALYSIS OF THE COURSE'S PEDAGOGICAL PROJECT

Abstract

The teaching of Human Rights in the Officer Training Course of the Military Police of Amazonas is a structural element for the consolidation of a citizen police force, aligned with the Democratic Rule of Law and sensitive to Amazonian specificities. This qualitative, descriptive-analytical study has the general objective of carrying out a documentary analysis of the Course Pedagogical Project (PPC-CFO, 2025), the SENASP National Curriculum Matrix (2014), the National Plan for Human Rights Education (2018), and the National Human Rights Program (PNDH-3, 2009). The research identifies significant advances in the transversal integration of Human Rights, distributed across various disciplines that connect ethical principles to operational competencies, overcoming traditional fragmented approaches. This interdisciplinary approach enriches the training, promoting intercultural sensitivity and respect for human dignity in plural contexts, such as indigenous and traditional communities in the Amazon. The results reveal convergence with national guidelines, positioning the course as a reference in the pedagogical modernization of public security, with an emphasis on democratic and humanist practices. The transversality strengthens the social legitimacy of police actions, preparing officers for contemporary ethical challenges. The final considerations highlight these progresses as an evolutionary milestone, establishing bases for future research on the empirical impacts of training and innovative methodologies in police academies. The work contributes to the academic dialogue on comprehensive education in public security.
