Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Military police activity in the State of Pará is marked by high levels of exposure to physical, psychological, legal, and operational risks, making self-protection an essential element for the preservation of life and the effectiveness of police service. In view of this scenario, the general objective of this study was to analyze the theoretical fundamentals and the importance of self-protection for military police officers in Pará. The research is characterized as a literature review, based on scientific productions published between 2015 and 2025, available in databases such as SciELO and Google Scholar, complemented by pertinent institutional documents. The results indicate that consistent self-protection practices contribute to the reduction of police victimization, the strengthening of decision-making, the improvement of operational efficiency, and the promotion of psychological well-being, while also highlighting challenges related to the lack of tactical standardization, organizational culture, and the need for continuous training. It is concluded that self-protection must be understood as a strategic pillar of police performance, requiring individual and institutional efforts to improve equipment, training, and protocols, thereby strengthening the safety and performance of PMPA professionals.
