The National Public Security Force was authorized to operate in seven Brazilian states during the National Unified Public Exam (CPNU) exams, known as “Enem dos Concursos”, this Sunday (18).
The use of force requires a request from local governors, who request it from the Ministry of Justice. The agents will support the actions of the Ministry of Management and Innovation in public security services.
The states involved are Amazonas, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Maranhão, Pará, Rio Grande do Sul and Roraima.
In Rio de Janeiro, however, the National Force is already in operation and the MJ says it will offer support to state and federal agencies, such as the Federal Highway Police, the Federal Police and the Military Police, in security actions.
The ordinances authorizing the National Force to operate in Mato Grosso, Rio Grande do Sul and Roraima were published this Wednesday (14). That of Mato Grosso do Sul this Friday (16). In the other states, the authorizations are in the process of being edited and deliberated.
The contest
Next Sunday, more than 2.1 million candidates are expected to take the exam for the national public competition, which offers 6,640 vacancies for 21 federal public administration bodies.
Rescheduled after being postponed due to flooding in Rio Grande do Sul, the selection process will have tests applied in more than 200 municipalities, in all regions of Brazil.
