Abstract: This article analyzes the proportional use of force in police action from a legal and operational perspective, considering the legal limits, ethical parameters, and practical challenges faced in the daily lives of security forces. The research engages with military doctrines and national and international regulations, emphasizing the need to reconcile police efficiency with the protection of fundamental rights. International treaties, Brazilian legislation, and comparisons with practices in other countries are examined, as well as studies of emblematic cases of excessive or insufficient use of force. The study advocates the importance of ongoing training, clear protocols, and accountability mechanisms as essential elements for legitimate, effective, and respectful action in human dignity.
