There are fewer and fewer candidates at PSP. Measure inserted in the state budget prevents many agents from entering pre-reform.
Data is not news: over the last two decades the number of candidates entering the Public Security Police (PSP) was almost always the to descend.
Last year, they appeared less than 3 thousand candidates for the PSP Guard Course – and most are excluded, or in physical tests, or then in the final test.
At a time when 22 thousand agents would be needed, just over 20 thousand in the tables of PSP.
O wage It is not very attractive and the idea that being in the police is synonymous with many problems, to be “target” of everything and everyone. Admiration, respect, became others. In addition, recruitment occurs in Lisboa: More expensive life, more crimes, more risks.
And then continues to standard of the government, which is (again) in the state budget, which prevents the pre-disposition of PSP staff: “There are more than 3,000 agents gathering the conditions for pre-disposition, 55 years of age and 36 of service. Only the Government prevents These men and women of exercise a right that is consecrated in the PSP Statute“Complains a PSP officer, no.
The same source reinforces that, in the Judicial Police and the Republished National Guard, the same is not true. If a guard is 55 years old and 36 of service, “it passes almost automatically, if this is its will, to pre-disposition.”
Bruno Pereira, leader of the National Police Officers Union, believes that such a standard is “unconstitutional” Because it is a “standard-exception” that has been going on for over 10 years, always inserted in the state budget.
“Therefore, it has been habitual practice that naturally contradicts the exceptional nature of such a rule to lock a right that is a right that is provided for by law. This only happens because recruitment has, over these 10 years, fallen by pique, ”he recalls.
If the law (PSP Statute) was complied with normallywithout these norms to stop the reforms, there would be “a catastrophic With the departure in Avalanche of almost 4,000 police who are currently pre-display. See what was the Police, from today to tomorrow, lose 4 thousand police“, Warns Bruno Pereira.
