INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITY: MUNICIPAL GUARD'S LIMITS AND POSSIBILITIES WITH THE ADVANCE OF LEGISLATION

Abstract

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the importance of investing in the creation of intelligence sectors within the municipal guard, as well as to point out the limits and possibilities that derive from this process for the sharing of knowledge. For this task, a bibliographical research was carried out, with a qualitative approach on the subject of police intelligence, which was later used in the design of counterintelligence. We will focus on the concept of counterintelligence as the protection of knowledge produced by institutions. We will also try to demonstrate the need for a harmony between the protection and sharing of the knowledge raised by organizations. In this research methodological path we will highlight the Municipal Guard institution and its potential gains based on the promulgation of the federal law that creates the National Public Security and Social Defense Policy (PNSPDS) and establishes the Public Security System (SUSP), focused on the implementation of intelligence sectors and the dissemination of information among public security agencies. The creation of a national public security policy and system was announced as a watershed in the production and dissemination of institutional knowledge, i.e. improvement in the flow of information sharing. Thus, the municipal guard is inserted in this process of information exchange which generates the concern of which data can be shared. From this setting, the effectiveness of counterintelligence within this agency of public security emerges.
