PUBLIC SECURITY AND HUMAN RIGHTS: THE ROLE OF THE MILITARY POLICE OFFICER TRAINING COURSE (CFO) OF POLÍCIA MILITAR DO AMAZONAS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF CITIZENSHIP

Abstract

This article is dedicated to the study of the relationship between public security and human rights based on the training of officers of the Polícia Militar do Amazonas, with a focus on the Officer Training Course (CFO). It is assumed that initial training exerts a direct influence on the construction of policing practices aligned with constitutional principles and the promotion of citizenship. The research adopts a qualitative approach, with an exploratory and descriptive character, based on a bibliographic review, document analysis, and examination of the course’s curricular frameworks and teaching plans. The results indicate that the CFO curriculum integrates legal, social, ethical, and operational contents, demonstrating an institutional concern with the humanized training of officers. The presence of subjects related to human rights, citizenship, sociology of violence, and community management contributes to the development of more democratic and socially responsible policing practices. It is observed that the proposed training seeks to balance military discipline, technical efficiency, and social sensitivity, thereby fostering institutional legitimacy before society. It is concluded that the CFO of the Military Police of Amazonas plays a strategic role in consolidating public security oriented toward the protection of human dignity, strengthening social trust, and contributing to the construction of a more humanized, efficient, and democratically committed police force.
