IMPACTS OF AGRARIAN CONFLICTS IN RONDÔNIA: REPERCUSSIONS FOR PUBLIC SAFETY

Abstract

The article analyzes the impacts of agrarian conflicts on public security in the state of Rondônia, with emphasis on the role of the Military Police (PMRO). Based on a qualitative and descriptive approach, the study examines institutional documents, official reports, and relevant scientific literature, highlighting that the Amazonian land tenure crisis generates severe social, economic, and operational effects. It identifies that the absence of land regularization, land grabbing, and the omission of responsible agencies intensify rural violence, placing on the PMRO the role of mediator in disputes without adequate interinstitutional support. The findings demonstrate that PMRO’s actions occur mostly in a reactive manner and under adverse conditions, resulting in functional overload and risks to institutional legitimacy. The study concludes that overcoming these conflicts requires the formulation of specific protocols, the strengthening of territorial governance, and the articulation between public security agencies, land administration authorities, and organized civil society.
