TRAINING COURSE FOR PROERD INSTRUCTORS IN THE MILITARY POLICE OF THE STATE OF TOCANTINS:

TOTAL IMMERSATION IN THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROCESS

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The present study deals with the experience of training instructors for the Drug and Violence Resistance Educational Program (PROERD), a public policy developed through a military police officer trained to teach on the subject. The object of the research is the PROERD Instructor Training Course at the Military Police of the State of Tocantins – PMTO (CFIP/2023). Qualitative and exploratory research was used as a methodology, seeking a deeper understanding of the training of public security professionals, being possible through bibliographic procedures and participatory research, this, through total immersion, with a report on the researcher's experience in the object of research throughout the course period. The results demonstrate the organization and seriousness of the training course, the requirement for the police officer to adapt to the new professional reality and the demonstration that the course leaves the soldier prepared to act, with continued training being necessary. It also notes the lack of studies on the training of professionals and the lack of PROERD to better adapt to the Brazilian reality, given the difficulty in students' literacy and the lack of structure in school environments.
