QUALIFIED OPERATIONS BASED ON MILITARY POLICE INTELLIGENCE: ADVANCED STRATEGIES FOR PRESERVING PUBLIC ORDER AND THE CHALLENGES OF CONTEMPORARY PUBLIC SECURITY

Abstract

This article seeks to deepen the study of the use of qualified operations guided by military police intelligence as an instrument for preserving public order in Brazil, assessing their efficiency and the challenges faced in implementing these strategies. The research is based on a bibliographic review, documentary analysis (including updated legislation and specific documents related to intelligence and organized crime) and case studies, observing both the doctrine and current legislation, as well as empirical data related to police operations. The results indicate that, although there are promising intelligence-driven policing initiatives in the country, significant challenges remain related to the standardization of efficiency indicators, interaction between agencies, professional development, and overcoming cultural resistance to confronting complex criminal organizations and parallel powers. It is concluded that the improvement of qualified operations guided by military police intelligence requires not only investments in technology and professional training, but also a paradigmatic transformation in the organizational culture, prioritizing prevention and strategic analysis over purely reactive approaches, and a broader understanding of the criminal dynamics that challenge state sovereignty and Brazilians' sense of security. The study contributes to the field of public security by suggesting guidelines for increasing more efficient operations aligned with the preservation of public order and compliance with fundamental rights, weighing the legal framework and current challenges.
