Note:
The police are, in Brazil, state bodies whose constitutional purpose is to preserve public order, protect people and property, and carry out the investigation and repression of crimes, as well as controlling violence. Article 144 of the 1988 Federal Constitution establishes that public security, which is the duty of the state and the right and responsibility of all, is exercised through the following bodies: 1) the Federal Police; 2) the Federal Highway Police; 3) the Federal Railway Police; 4) the Civil Police; 5) the Military Police and the Military Fire Brigade.
Civil Police (PC)
The main function of the Civil Police is criminal investigation. They are responsible for drawing up police reports and looking for evidence and clues to help solve crimes committed in their territory. They try to investigate and solve crimes after they have been reported and this is one of the main differences between the Civil and Military Police. The Civil Police usually act knowing what crime they are working on, while the Military Police seek to prevent a crime from taking place, or to observe it urgently, preventing it from occurring or succeeding.
Military Police (PM)
The Military Police (Brigada Militar in RS) are the ones who are present on a day-to-day basis, taking direct care of the safety of the population – preserving public order. It is the police force responsible for what is known as ostentatious policing, meaning that it serves to curb crime immediately, reprimanding it by its presence and coercive potential.
This explains one of the main differences between the Civil and Military Police. While the Civil Police is a more investigative force, the Military Police is dedicated to immediate and emergency surveillance and repression of criminal or illegal acts. If, after a robbery, the police report must be filed with the Civil Police, immediately after or during the robbery, it is the responsibility of the Military Police.
Federal Police (PF)
The Federal Police deals with matters of federal public order. It fights crimes that affect the whole country, such as drug trafficking and smuggling, also issues passports and even investigates crimes that cause damage to the Union’s assets and resources, such as corruption.
The Federal Police serve the interests of the state at federal level, reporting to the Minister of Justice. It has a mixed function of maintaining immediate order (as in the case of action at borders and customs) and investigation (as in investigations into economic crimes and corruption), and requires a unique elucidation for a good understanding of its scope.
