O modelo de polícia dos postos da guarda

A GNR é uma força de segurança única em Portugal, de natureza militar, constituída essencialmente por militares organizados num corpo especial de tropas, dotada de autonomia administrativa e integrada no Ministério da Administração Interna. A lei da sua orgânica, promulgada em 2007 e concretizada em 2009, tem por objecto o exercício de funções de soberania na qual a vertente de força de segurança assenta em muito na capilaridade dos postos territoriais que desenvolvem a sua missão fundamentalmente na área policial assegurando a legalidade democrática e garantindo a segurança interna e os direitos dos cidadãos. Definiu-se como objecto da dissertação o actual dispositivo dos postos territoriais da Guarda, no território continental português, visando caracterizá-lo relativamente à sua envolvente externa tendo, para o efeito, sido seleccionados os indicadores da população, da área, da relação administrativa e judicial, da localização específica e das distâncias mais próximas entre eles. Ao longo do trabalho foi utilizado o método indutivo com recurso a diversas técnicas (pesquisa bibliográfica, análise documental, estatística e observação participativa) e, em especial, a um inquérito que permitiu arrolar informação sobre 92,69 % dos postos da Guarda num universo de quatrocentos e sessenta e cinco. O modelo secular do dispositivo dos postos territoriais é uma competência distintiva da GNR que se caracteriza por ser uma malha sistemática de ocupação do território, composta por unidades elementares polivalentes, intermitentes, multiformes e muito desiguais. Independentemente da existência de um posto da Guarda constituir um símbolo da soberania nacional interessa que não seja apenas isso pois trata-se de um escalão fundamentalmente operacional com profundas responsabilidades pelo cumprimento da missão policial da GNR. Em jeito prospectivo consideramos que os postos territoriais devem ostentar uma autonomia operacional necessária e, sem excepção, dispor de uma envolvente externa coerente e provida da adequada envergadura, legitimando materialmente a sua existência, fomentando-se o equilíbrio relativo da mais pequena unidade orgânica da Guarda, sem prejuízo da proximidade às populações, do conhecimento actual e permanente do espaço social, de se assegurarem tempos de intervenção aceitáveis e da salvaguarda de constrangimentos geográficos, sociais e económicos.

A intervenção dos orgãos de polícia criminal em sede de julgamento

Currently, Portugal assumes itself as a democratic rule of substantive law State, sustained by a legal system seeking the right balance between the guarantee of fundamental rights and freedoms constitutional foreseen in Portugal’s Fundamental Law and criminal persecution. The architecture of the penal code lies with, roughly speaking, a accusatory basic structure, “deliberately attached to one of the most remarkable achievements of the civilizational democratic progress, and by obedience to the constitutional commandment”, in balance with the official investigation principle, valid both for the purpose of prosecution and trial. Regarding the principle of non self-incrimination - nemo tenetur se ipsum accusare, briefly defined as the defendant’s right of not being obliged to contribute to the self-incrimination, it should be stressed that there isn’t an explicit consecration in the Portuguese Constitution, being commonly accepted in an implicit constitutional prediction and deriving from other constitutional rights and principles, first and foremost, the meaning and scope of the concept of democratic rule of Law State, embedded in the Fundamental Law, and in the guidelines of the constitutional principles of human person dignity, freedom of action and the presumption of innocence. In any case, about the (in) applicability of the principle of the prohibition of self-incrimination to the Criminal Police Bodies in the trial hearing in Court, and sharing an idea of Guedes Valente, the truth is that the exercise of criminal action must tread a transparent path and non-compliant with methods to obtain evidence that violate the law, the public order or in violation of democratic principles and loyalty (Guedes Valente, 2013, p. 484). Within the framework of the penal process relating to the trial, which is assumed as the true phase of the process, the witness represents a relevant figure for the administration of criminal justice, for the testimonial proof is, in the idea of Othmar Jauernig, the worst proof of evidence, but also being the most frequent (Jauernig, 1998, p. 289). As coadjutant of the Public Prosecutor and, in specific cases, the investigating judge, the Criminal Police Bodies are invested with high responsibility, being "the arms and eyes of Judicial Authorities in pursuing the criminal investigation..." which has as ultimate goal the fulfillment of the Law pursuing the defense of society" (Guedes Valente, 2013, p. 485). It is in this context and as a witness that, throughout operational career, the Criminal Police Bodies are required to be at the trial hearing and clarify the Court with its view about the facts relating to occurrences of criminal context, thus contributing very significantly and, in some cases, decisively for the proper administration of the portuguese criminal justice. With regards to the intervention of Criminal Police Bodies in the trial hearing in Court, it’s important that they pay attention to a set of standards concerning the preparation of the testimony, the very provision of the testimony and, also, to its conclusion. Be emphasized that these guidelines may become crucial for the quality of the police testimony at the trial hearing, thus leading to an improvement of the enforcement of justice system. In this vein, while preparing the testimony, the Criminal Police Bodies must present itself in court with proper clothing, to read before and carefully the case files, to debate the facts being judged with other Criminal Police Bodies and prepare potential questions. Later, while giving his testimony during the trial, the Criminal Police Bodies must, summing up, to take the oath in a convincing manner, to feel comfortable, to start well by convincingly answering the first question, keep an attitude of serenity, to adopt an attitude of collaboration, to avoid the reading of documents, to demonstrate deference and seriousness before the judicial operators, to use simple and objective language, to adopt a fluent speech, to use nonverbal language correctly, to avoid spontaneity responding only to what is asked, to report only the truth, to avoid hesitations and contradictions, to be impartial and to maintain eye contact with the judge. Finally, at the conclusion of the testimony, the Criminal Police Bodies should rise in a smooth manner, avoiding to show relief, resentment or satisfaction, leaving a credible and professional image and, without much formality, requesting the judge permission to leave the courtroom. As final note, it’s important to stress that "The intervention of the Police Criminal Bodies in the trial hearing in Court” encloses itself on a theme of crucial importance not only for members of the Police and Security Forces, who must welcome this subject with the utmost seriousness and professionalism, but also for the proper administration of the criminal justice system in Portugal.

A GNR e a cooperação entre órgãos da polícia criminal na sociedade do risco. Estudo de caso:

Cooperation between police forces is a topic that is increasingly relevant. The emergence of new threats, as well as looking for new ways to fight crime, require from the, careful monitoring and strict sharing of all relevant information.

O corpo da Guarda prisional como Órgão de Polícia Criminal e a sua importância na Segurança Interna

The study now presented a research study aimed at the exercise of security activity of the prison guard corps (CGP) in the specific context of the prison system (SP). The study also focused on the phenomenon of globalization and its influence on the current panorama of world crime and their relationship with the prison security object of study was the security activity of the CGP on the current inmate population, as well as the typology of crimes inherent to it and that requires the interpretation of the amendment to the correctional paradigm. In the preparation of the study we have tried to identify the legal framework of the profession based on the main laws and decree-laws governing the institution DGRSP and CGP's career. The difficulties and constraints were analyzed the performance of the security function of the CGP, resulting from the infrastructure, the interaction with the inmates and the need of assigning the status of Criminal Police (OPC). Really connected the relevant importance of OPC so the Corporation can establish a cooperation interaction and sharing of information with different security forces. We noted the importance of the CGP being OPC status before the framework for its action in work situations, specifically, on gatehouses, prison wings, area, and high-complexity operations such as escorts and riot control interventions.The explanation of this study enabled us to assess the importance of the actions of a police officer of the elements of the CGP for maintaining internal security. The analyses and studies were complemented by twenty years of career and exercise of the activity of the master's degree, during which time he served as guard and head of the CGP, the intervention Group and Prison Security, the Lisbon Prison, Prison, Prison of Caxias, Sintra and Monsanto.

A importância da Polícia Municipal na segurança

The challenge of this work is to assess the importance of the municipal police in improving the safety of citizens, if gauging from this reality through contributions from the Municipal Police Guimarães. The IV Constitutional Review in 1997, enabled the Portuguese municipalities creating administrative police bodies. These services, known as Municipal Police, have gradually come up in several municipalities. Currently the Municipal Police have their fundamental legal regulations of Law No. 19/2004 of 20 May, which, according to the Portuguese Constitution provides that these must be seen as municipal services, which act in a space territorially delimited, which corresponds to the municipality that each belongs. Under Article 237, paragraph 3, of the Constitution, the Municipal Police are municipal services, which shall cooperate in the maintenance of public order and protection of local communities, acting in cooperation with the security forces, public security functions. The safety concept has been taking an increasingly significant importance within the population. Is also no doubt say that, currently, insecurity affects all of society and is a major concern of law enforcement authorities. To find suitable answers we found that there are several studies on these subjects. In order to be able to make our contribution, text looks us on this subject, having had the support of the Municipal Police Guimarães, in the preparation of this work. Thus, based on a survey, they were sounded out, as privileged actors, agents of the Municipal Police Guimarães, in order to know their perceptions with regard to security issues faced in the context of security. We understand ask them to answer in particular the following questions: What are the most facilitators situations of crime? How important is the Municipal Police Guimarães in crime prevention? What are the strategies for prevention of incivilities? What other skills that can be conferred upon the Municipal Police? The results obtained allowed us to conclude that incivilities facilitate the occurrence of crimes and that the Municipal Police may have a more active role in the security of the population. If you were given other duties, in addition to that already have, the Municipal Police could reach another level of effectiveness. However we understand that any change to the tasks of this police need a serious and profound reflection, to find complementary alternatives with the security forces, which does not conflict with current assignments of any of the parties or with the interests of citizens.

Georeferencing Road Accidents with Google Earth: Transforming Information into Knowledge for Decision Support

Over the last fifty years mobility practices have changed dramatically, improving the way travel takes place, the time it takes but also on matters like road safety and prevention. High mortality caused by high accident levels has reached untenable levels. But the research into road mortality stayed limited to comparative statistical exercises which go no further than defining accident types. In terms of sharing information and mapping accidents, little progress has been mad, aside from the normal publication of figures, either through simplistic tables or web pages. With considerable technological advances on geographical information technologies, research and development stayed rather static with only a few good examples on dynamic mapping. The use of Global Positioning System (GPS) devices as normal equipments on automobile industry resulted in a more dynamic mobility patterns but also with higher degrees of uncertainty on road traffic. This paper describes a road accident georeferencing project for the Lisbon District involving fatalities and serious injuries during 2007. In the initial phase, individual information summaries were compiled giving information on accidents and its majour characteristics, collected by the security forces: the Public Safety Police Force (Polícia de Segurança Pública - PSP) and the National Guard (Guarda Nacional Republicana - GNR). The Google Earth platform was used to georeference the information in order to inform the public and the authorities of the accident locations, the nature of the location, and the causes and consequences of the accidents. This paper also gives future insights about augmented reality technologies, considered crucial to advances to road safety and prevention studies. At the end, this exercise could be considered a success because of numerous consequences, as for stakeholders who decide what to do but also for the public awareness to the problem of road mortality.

O sítio e a arquitectura de uma casa quinhentista Ribeira de Santarém - ensaio tipológico das casas urbanas de frente estreita

Tomando a rua Alfageme de Santarém na direcção do rio - após o atravessamento da linha de caminho-de-ferro que cortou, na segunda metade do século XIX, o núcleo urbano da Ribeira de Santarém - na última das cinco edificações da correnteza do lado voltado a Norte, antes da inflexão para a Praça, encontra-se uma notável casa quinhentista que ostenta os números de polícia 13 e 15, em cada uma das suas portas. O interesse deste exemplar, pressentido nos vários elementos decorativos da fachada, é plenamente confirmado quando, percorrendo o interior, se constata ser um exemplar que se mantém íntegro e em bom estado de conservação. Por isso, constitui um importante caso, cuja análise permitirá contribuir para definir as características urbanas e arquitectónicas das edificações correntes desta época.

As representações pluriseculares de uma vivência de quatidiano. A Lisboa do passado

Falar de vida quotidiana é sempre difícil, por se tratar de um tema multifacetado e imbuido de certa subjectividade, em termos de fontes e metodologias possíveis. Estas dificuldades veem-se acrescidas no caso de Lisboa, por ser impossível reconhecer e abordar as inúmeras facetas e perspectivas de que se revestiu no passado a vivência diária na capital do Reino e do Império. Assim, as páginas que se seguem pertendem apenas mostrar uma forma diferente de ver alguns aspectos desse quotidiano. Ou melhor, ver Lisboa por dentro e reconhecer quais as vantagens e dificuldades com que se defrontavam os seus residentes de outrora. Poderíamos falar de uma história ao contrário, já que deseja verificar o que não mudou na cidade e quais os problemas vividos pela população aí residente no seu dia a dia . Muitos deles, conforme teremos oportunidade de constatar , eram iguais aos de hoje, embora já há quinhentos anos fossem criticados e até polémicos. Veremos que já no século XVI as rendas eram caras e era difícil arranjar casa, que o mau estado e a sujidade das ruas eram constantemente referidas, que existiam problemas de circulação e verdadeiros engarrafamentos, que os constantes assaltos tornavam perigoso sair à noite ou passar por certas ruas e que a polícia pouco fazia para evitar a insegurança e a violência na cidade.
