Innovative structure and strategic approach
The course is designed to address the most pressing public safety issues.
With a workload of 360 hours spread over four quarters, the program combines theory and practice to train professionals with modern tools and advanced techniques to combat organized crime.
In the first quarter, the focus is on building a solid theoretical foundation with subjects such as Scientific Research Methodology, Cyber Intelligence and Knowledge Management.
Then, the second quarter introduces Investigation Tools and Techniques, with emphasis on advanced methodologies in criminal and asset investigation.
In the last two periods, students study legal aspects, emerging technologies and trends, concluding the specialization with a Final Course Project (TCC).
According to notice No. 001/2025, this organization allows participants to develop an in-depth and integrated understanding of the real demands of public safety.
Who can apply?
According to the Ministry of Justice, professionals with a degree recognized by the MEC who work or are interested in working in the areas of public security, intelligence or combating organized crime can participate in the selection process.
Furthermore, public servants with proven experience in the area have priority for a portion of the vacancies.
The 250 vacancies are divided into two categories: 200 for general competition and 50 for affirmative action.
The distribution includes social groups in vulnerable situations, such as black people, indigenous people and people with disabilities, promoting diversity and inclusion in the training process.
UFSC selection process
The selection process consists of two main stages:
- Curriculum analysis (60%) – Assesses academic training and scientific skills based on the Lattes Curriculum.
- Proof of qualifications (40%) – Considers length of service and performance in specialized units.
The ranking of candidates will be determined by adding the scores from the two stages.
Tiebreaker criteria include higher score in the curriculum analysis, longer service time and older age.

This is what we need to combat where these criminals act and often go unpunished and unfound.
Without a doubt, the Brazilian scenario we are experiencing urgently needs qualified professionals.
It is important to correct the matter. It suggests that anyone can participate. However, I read the notice and saw that the specialization is exclusive to active and effective employees of security agencies and related agencies. There are no vacancies for members of civil society.
