After Denunciation About Police Officers Forced to Cook During Work Hours, PM Speaks Out
Paraná Military Police Speaks Out After Denunciation About Officers Who Need to Cook During Work Hours and Clarifies Impact on Patrols
The Military Police of Paraná (PMPR) spoke on Tuesday (20) after complaints received by the Portal Boca no Trombone pointed out that military policemen of municipalities of Campos Gerais would be required to prepare their own meals during the work. In an official note, the corporation stated that it maintains an organized structure to ensure the feeding of the agents and ensured that the procedure does not harm the ostensible policing or the attendance to the population.
The complaints involve police detachments of Carambeí, Piraí do Sul, Jaguariaíva, Arapoti and Sengés, linked to the 3rd Company of the 1st Military Police Battalion (1st BPM), based in Castro. According to reports sent to the report, the police officers would be prevented from buying meals outside the units and would need to cook during working hours.
The main concern presented in the complaints is related to the possible reduction of street patrols, especially in municipalities where, according to reports, only two police officers act per shift. In these situations, the vehicles would remain stationary while the military carried out the preparation of food.
PM says food does not harm patrol
In response to the questions, the Military Police reported that they have regular contracts for the supply of food and maintain a staff organization intended for the preparation of meals in the detachments of the region.
According to the corporation, the structure adopted allows to guarantee the feeding of the police during the service without compromising the operational activities.
"The Paraná Military Police (PMPR) informs that it has regular contracts for the supply of food and maintains the organization of personnel for the preparation of meals in the Military Police Detachments of the municipalities of the Campos Gerais, In order to ensure the feeding of the police during the service, without prejudice to the ostensible patrol carried out by the teams of Rádio Patrulha Auto (RPA) and the attendance of occurrences", informed the institution.
The demonstration confirms the existence of an organization for the preparation of meals within the detachments, but it does not specifically clarify whether the police officers escalated for patrol are responsible for cooking or if there is personnel exclusively destined for this activity.
Corporation strengthens commitment to population security
In the note, PMPR highlighted that the procedures adopted aim to reconcile the needs of police officers with the maintenance of public safety activities.
"PMPR reinforces that the procedures adopted aim to ensure the proper organization of the service, the continuity of policing and the well-being of military policemen, reaffirming their commitment to institutional transparency, accountability in the management of public resources and the safety of the population," he said.
The positioning was disclosed by the Center for Social Communication of the Military Police of Paraná, in Curitiba.
Despite the clarifications, the note does not detail how the division of tasks related to the preparation of meals occurs in detachments with reduced personnel, nor does it directly address the claim that police officers would be prohibited from acquiring food outside of the units.
The Boca no Trombone Portal continues to follow the case and maintains open space for further clarification on the organization of the police service in the municipalities of Campos Gerais.
