RISK MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT: PUBLIC SECURITY PERFORMANCE IN THE MARAJÓ-PA REGION

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to discuss the concepts of risk management, governance, and innovation in public safety, focusing on the performance of the Antônio Lemos river base, located in the western portion of Marajó-PA. Methodology: The research is descriptive and exploratory in nature, addressing the analysis of authors in the field of governance in public safety and innovation. Data from the SISP2 system were used and analyzed based on the documentary research technique (Kripka et al., 2015; Perovano, 2014), with specific authorization (PAE 2024/732795). The study area is the western portion of the Marajó archipelago, and factors such as crime, river transport, and the impact of the Antônio Lemos river base were observed. Results: The installation of the river base provided greater coverage and efficiency in river policing, reducing crime rates in nearby areas, especially in Breves-PA. Despite this, issues such as under-reporting of crimes and limitations in scope remain challenges. The study reaffirms the need to implement more river bases, highlighting their relevance for public safety and local socioeconomic development. It is noted that the integration of public policies with social innovation initiatives can transform regional dynamics, increasing security and stimulating economic progress.
