The commitment to address the matter was made to an audience of employees of these bodies during a ceremony, at Palácio do Planalto, to launch the program Rodovida 2022, of the Federal Highway Police (PRF), with support from the Ministry of Infrastructure. The action focuses on the integration between federal, state and municipal public bodies for the inspection, prevention and reduction of traffic accidents.

Yesterday, without giving details, through social networks, the Minister of Justice, Anderson Torres, had already said that he had delivered to the Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, a proposal for “restructuring police careers”. According to him, the measure seeks "even more valorization of the security forces".
