In a report released this Friday (20), the Special Public Security Commission of the S\u00e3o Paulo Bar Association (2022-2024) highlights the worrying escalation of police lethality in the state of S\u00e3o Paulo and recommends expanding the use of body cameras by police officers, among other measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Commission highlights the effectiveness of these devices, whose adoption led to a 62.7% reduction in mortality from police interventions between 2019 and 2022. However, the report criticizes budget cuts to the camera program: “Once elected, Tarc\u00edsio de Freitas cut 37% of the budget allocated to the camera project, making it impossible to expand the use of the equipment among police forces. The Secretary of Public Security, Guilherme Derrite, also made statements opposing the program and advocated for the easing of mechanisms to monitor police activity.” It says in the document.<\/span><\/p>\n

The report also highlights the ineffectiveness of the operations <\/span>Escudo<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Ver\u00e3o<\/span><\/i>, which resulted in 77 deaths in the Baixada Santista region and led to numerous reports of rights violations. The Commission also advocates for a review of public security policies, with the adoption of less-lethal strategies, greater respect for human rights, and the promotion of social participation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The recommendations made by the Commission:<\/b><\/h2>\n

The use of body cameras by police officers<\/b><\/h2>\n

It is necessary to implement regulations for continuous recording, data storage for up to one year, and access by institutions such as the Public Prosecutor’s Office. Additionally, investments should be made in the use of cameras across the board in operational units and to establish agreements for assessing results, ensuring evidence of their effectiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reinforcement of mechanisms to provide training on the use of force and monitoring within the police forces<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Risk Mitigation Commissions should be reinstated in order to provide training on the reasonable use of force and less-lethal equipment. Furthermore, monitoring bodies should be reinforced with greater transparency and an independent inspection mechanism composed of external entities should be set up.<\/span><\/p>\n

A review by the state government of the policy on the use of force in police confrontations<\/b><\/h2>\n

The state policy should adopt principles of reasonable force and minimal lethality, ensure the continuous use of body cameras, and reform police training to include de-escalation techniques and human rights education.<\/span><\/p>\n

Setting up support and safeguarding mechanisms for the victims of police violence<\/b><\/h2>\n

It is essential to bolster ombudsman offices and human rights commissions to provide psychological and legal support to victims, ensuring the investigation of abuses and access to justice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bolstering the S\u00e3o Paulo Police Ombudsman<\/b><\/h2>\n

It is recommended to bolster the existing Ombudsman Office by expanding its team, structure, and access to information, as well as ensuring the Ombudsman\u2019s safety. The creation of a parallel ombudsman office should be ruled out.<\/span><\/p>\n

The institutional importance of the Public Prosecutor\u00b4s Office as an external monitoring body<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Public Prosecutor’s Office should bolster the GAESP, establish decentralized units, conclude pending investigations, and update the recommendation for the use of body cameras, ensuring transparency and safeguarding human rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Composition of the Commission<\/b><\/h2>\n
