Requirements to compete for the contest vacancies

To apply for the position of penal police officer, the candidate must have a complete higher education in any field.

The career also requires a National Driver’s License, at least in category B, a requirement provided for all positions in the contest.

The analyst positions are intended for candidates with higher education in specific areas, such as Law, Psychology, Social Work, Engineering, Nutrition, Computer Science, Architecture, Nursing, Pharmacy, Pedagogy, and other specialties provided in the announcement.

For the administrative technician role, the requirement is a complete high school education.

The role is aimed at providing administrative support to the institution and may involve internal activities related to document organization, customer service, process control, and operational support to units linked to the prison system.

The position has the fewest immediate vacancies but also includes a reserve list, which increases the possibility of calls during the validity of the competition.

Stages planned for candidates of the Penal Police

The selection for penal police officer will have four phases: theoretical exam, physical aptitude test, psychological evaluation, and background investigation.

This structure follows the nature of the position, which involves direct action in the prison system.

For analyst and administrative technician, the process will have three stages: theoretical exam, psychological evaluation, and background investigation.

All phases must be carefully observed by candidates, as the announcement defines eliminatory criteria throughout the competition.

The background investigation, planned for different positions, seeks to verify the social and functional conduct of participants, while the psychological evaluation aims to analyze characteristics compatible with the duties performed in the penitentiary area.

In the case of the physical aptitude test for penal police officer, candidates will need to reach minimum indices previously established in the announcement to continue competing for the vacancies.

The objective exams are scheduled for August 9, 2026.

The program content, application rules, approval criteria, and other guidelines are included in the announcement provided by the organizing committee.
