THE IMPORTANCE OF REGULATING THE CHARTER OF THE OFFICERS OF THE MILITARY POLICE OF THE STATE OF TOCANTINS IN THE FACE OF STATE OMISSION

Abstract

The regulation of the Letters Patent of the Military Police Officers of the State of Tocantins (PMTO) is a relevant issue for the legal security of state military personnel. The Federal Constitution of 1988 guarantees officers the right to the Letters Patent, a public document that formalizes their prerogatives, rights and duties. However, in Tocantins, there is a state omission, as the document has not been issued, compromising the legal security of the officers' careers. The study aimed to analyze the impacts of the absence of regulation of the Patent Letter in the PMTO and propose solutions to ensure the effectiveness of this right. The research was conducted through a qualitative and documentary approach, using legislative analysis and bibliographic review of federal and state regulations on the subject. The results indicate that other states, such as Minas Gerais, Paraná and Goiás, have already regulated the issuance of the Letters Patent, ensuring greater legal stability to their officers. In Tocantins, the absence of regulation creates a normative vacuum that prevents the military from fully enjoying the rights inherent to officership. It is concluded that the standardization of the Letters Patent in the PMTO is essential to ensure the legal security of officers, preventing administrative conflicts and strengthening the hierarchical structure of the corporation. It is recommended that a state decree be issued to regulate the issuance of this document, aligning Tocantins with the other federation units and ensuring full compliance with constitutional and statutory provisions.
