Goiás247_ The population of Goiás received this Thursday (17) 500 new soldiers trained by the Voluntary Military Service (Simve). The group will work in the capital and interior of the State. These new police officers are reservists of the Armed Forces and went through selection and training that lasted three months. More than 3,3 people participated in the process that selected 1,3 candidates. The contract will be for 12 months, but to be renewed, the soldier must prove that he is enrolled in a college. The contract is for a maximum of 36 months. The graduation ceremony took place in the morning at the Military Police Academy, in Goiânia.
The graduates have been working in the core activities of the Military Police since December 2013, when they actively participated in Operation Happy Holidays, and are reinforcing street policing through the Neighborhood Patrol. Paulo Victor de Oliveira, 23, is one of them. He will work in Rio Verde, a municipality where he served in the army for a year. The new soldier comments that during his supervised internship – a one-month stage in the Basic Training Course – he worked in the Traffic Battalion and the Operations Center of Aparecida de Goiânia.
Selective Process
The Simve selection process had five stages. To participate, candidates had to be between 19 and 27 years old and be reservists of the 1st or 2nd class. The new police officers will work in Goiânia, Aparecida de Goiânia, Anápolis, Luziânia, Rio Verde, Jataí, Itumbiara, and Caldas Novas. During the training course, candidates received R$ 939,33 per month and, after training, R$ 1.341,90.
“I’ve always dreamed of wearing the uniform of the Military Police of the State of Goiás,” says Paulo Victor. According to the soldier, he always wanted to be a police officer and help other people. In the Army, he adapted easily to the hierarchy and discipline. He is already making plans for the future. “I’m going to take the Military Police entrance exam to become a permanent officer, and God willing, we’ll succeed. I don’t want to just go in and out, like my colleagues. We want to build a career in the Military Police,” says Paulo.
