Phase 1 of the new security plan is complete.
Meetings defined the eight key areas of focus; the next step will be to establish crime reduction targets in the program's four regions; different public security forces will work together to reduce crime in the Federal District; the Security Secretariat's goal is to reduce crime by 8%.
Brasilia 247 – The first stage of the Action for Life program – the new security plan of the Federal District Government – was completed this week. All public security forces – Civil and Military Police, Fire Department and Traffic Department (Detran) – participated in the meetings to establish the critical points of the eight areas of focus that will guide the joint work of the security forces.
Representatives from agencies such as the Health Secretariat, the Secretariat for Social Development and Income Transfer (Sedest), and the Federal District Inspection Agency (Agefis) detailed for security force managers the contribution they can offer to help control crime in the Federal District, which the plan aims to reduce by 8%.
The thematic areas were defined as follows: intentional lethal violent crimes; violent crimes against property; drug trafficking; firearms; traffic violence; social pacification; impacts of the surrounding area; and juvenile delinquency.
With the axes' structures now outlined, the next phase of the program will be to establish crime reduction targets by region and formalize the Regional Operational Councils, which will work in partnership with the administrations of each city.
According to the Secretary of Public Security, Sandro Avelar, this first stage was "fundamental" to the plan's performance because the forces needed to create similar structures to work together. "Initially, it was necessary to align information so that everyone knew the eight pillars and, therefore, we could differentiate the reality of each region," he emphasized. "Now, we will move on to the phase of defining goals and targets to be achieved. We will establish the goals and meet them."
