House Committee approves bill that values specific courses in the scoring of titles for public service exams of military police and firefighter corps.
The House of Representatives took an important step toward modernizing the selection process for state security agencies. During a meeting of the Work Committee, lawmakers approved a proposal that regulates the counting of high-complexity qualifications in the title evaluation phase for new entrants.
The measure amends recent federal rules to ensure that differentiated technical knowledge carries real weight in candidate rankings. With the bill’s progress, the National Congress seeks to align the future agents’ profile with the increasingly complex demands of public security in the country.
New rules for title evaluation
The approved text is a substitute presented by Deputy Captain Alden to Bill 3907/19. The new version adjusts provisions of the recent Organic Law of Military Police and Military Firefighter Corps, while also aligning with legislation governing national public contests.
Under the new directive, technical knowledge that is difficult to acquire and obtained previously may add decisive points in the competition for vacancies. To do so, each contest’s notice must establish clear criteria for relevance between the presented training and the practical duties of the contested position.
The initiative favors the selection of professionals with specific knowledge and differentiated training, contributing to the strengthening of military police and firefighter corps and to the improvement of public security services provided to the population.
Next steps in the Legislature
The proposal already had a favorable opinion in the Public Security and Organized Crime Combat Committee. Now, the text moves to final evaluation in the Constitution, Justice and Citizenship Committee, the last step before possible progression to the Senate.
If approved in its final form, the change promises to attract candidates with superior technical background, directly impacting the technical quality of security forces in the states, the Federal District, and the territories.
