Sanctioned after 14 years of debate, the new private security law establishes new criteria for regulating companies, controlling weapons and creating jobs, generating opportunities in areas such as electronic monitoring and security for major events.
After 14 years of intense debates in Congress, the new private security law, recently sanctioned, brings changes that promise to transform the sector in Brazil. With the aim of regulating the use of weapons and integrating up to 500 informal security guards into the formal market, this legislation should generate 100 new jobs in electronic monitoring and event security.
Imagine a silent army of 597 private security agents in Brazil, armed and prepared, but without the necessary regulations. Well, this was about to continue like this, until the new private security law came along to bring order to this scenario! Sanctioned by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Law 14.967/2024 is already being seen as the watershed that the sector so desperately needed. In addition to regulating the use of weapons by security guards, the new legislation creates opportunities to take up to 500 workers out of informality and promises to generate more than 100 thousand jobs In the next years.
What changes with the new private security law?
The new private security law brings a series of significant changes to the sector. Security companies now need authorization from the Federal Police to operate, weapons must be stored securely and transfers between companies need approval. Independent security guards are banned, a measure that seeks to combat informality, which currently affects around 2,5 million security guards.

Another point worth highlighting is the private sector's exclusivity in the electronic monitoring of major events, such as concerts and football matches, which will also pave the way for more job openings.
More public safety
For many experts, the new private security law is an important step for public security. By controlling the use of weapons by security guards, the risk of them falling into the wrong hands is reduced. There is an expectation that private security guards begin to collaborate more actively with public forces, creating a safer and more integrated work environment.
Employment opportunities and the future of the sector with the new law
With this new law, it is estimated that the private security sector will expand its operations, mainly with the creation of job vacancies in electronic monitoring and large-scale events. This category alone has the potential to generate more than 100 new job opportunities in the coming years, according to industry experts.
Although the statute still has points to be adjusted, such as gun control and inspection by the Federal Police, The new private security law is already being celebrated as a victory for workers and business owners in the sector.
With so many changes planned, will the new private security law be able to balance job creation with increased control over the use of weapons, ensuring greater security for everyone? What do you think still needs to be adjusted in this new regulation?
