The Proposal Approved By The Public Safety Committee Of The Chamber Creates A National Protection Program For Agriculture And Rural Communities, Expands The Integrated Action Of Police Forces, Foresees Use Of Technology And Harsher Penalties For Property Crimes Committed In The Field

The Public Safety Committee of the Chamber of Deputies approved, in December, Bill 467/25, which establishes a national protection program for agriculture and rural communities, executed by Susp, focusing on crimes in the field and legal changes that increase penalties and rules for armament. The expectation is to increase security in rural areas.

Creation Of The Program And Central Objectives

The proposal establishes a national program aimed at strengthening security in rural areas and curbing crimes such as livestock theft and property invasions.

The text is authored by Deputy Thiago Flores, and establishes integrated action within the framework of the Unified Public Security System.

Among the central objectives are reducing rural crime and protecting producers and communities through coordinated and permanent actions. The execution foresees planning, integration, and operational response in rural areas considered sensitive.

Strategic Actions Foreseen In The Susp

The program lists strategic actions to achieve the objectives. Among them, the articulation and integration of state and federal security forces, as well as the increased presence of the National Public Security Force in rural regions.

There are also initiatives for monitoring and intelligence to prevent crimes, as well as training for agents of military and civil police for specific action against rural crimes, focusing on operational and preventive measures.

Research, Technology And Financing

The text provides for incentives for research and the development of technologies aimed at rural security. There is technical support and financing for surveillance systems, including drones, cameras, and smart fences in rural properties, with an emphasis on prevention.

The financing will use resources from the Union Budget applied to Susp, public-private partnerships, and specific lines of credit for small and medium producers, aimed at purchasing security equipment, ensuring access and operational viability.

The reporter Rodolfo Nogueira recommended approval. According to him, the program constitutes a State policy for the protection of rural producers, in response to the seriousness of crimes in the field and the economic and social impact on families.

The project amends the Disarmament Statute by exempting rural residents from proving effective need for firearm acquisition or possession, as well as reducing fees, prioritizing analyses, and expanding acquisition limits. In the Penal Code, it raises penalties by 1/3 to double for property crimes in rural areas.

Proceedings And Next Steps

The proposal will go to the Finance and Taxation and the Constitution, Justice and Citizenship committees. Then, it will be voted on by the Chamber Plenary. To become law, it needs approval from deputies and senators, completing the legislative process.
