A utilização do sistema de monitoramento nas viaturas policiais: estudo de caso no 9º Batalhão de Polícia Militar do Maranhão

Abstract

The vehicle monitoring system is used in different states to assist the military police service, being of paramount importance for the planning of actions to combat crime. In 2016, the Military Police of Maranhão (PMMA) started, through contract 057/2015 under the terms of the Call Notice nº 17/2015 - CSL / SSP, to lease 100 vehicles with a Global Position System (GPS), cameras and capture of audios that record the location of vehicles, images and sounds in real time. The aim of this study is to analyze the use of this system in PMMA, starting with the 9th Military Police Battalion (9th BPM), Military Police Unit (UPM) with 92% of its fleet monitored. The research is classified as qualitative and according to the objectives is considered exploratory. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with the technical manager of the company TECWAY, which supplies the vehicles with the monitoring system for PMMA, in order to know its structure and operation; and with the command of the 9th BPM to identify the use of the system within the UPM. SWOT analysis and the 5W2H action plan were used to achieve the research objectives. It is concluded that the vehicle monitoring system is very efficient, but there is an underutilization of this resource that can be directed to assist the police service in the Island of Maranhão (São Luís, Paço do Lumiar, Raposa and São José de Ribamar), with cost reduction and optimization of results.
