Joinville Ranks Among The Safest Cities And Registers Increased Business Activity, According To Surveys Cited By The City Hall And Jucesc.

Joinville (SC) was identified as the third safest city in the country among municipalities with a population between 500 thousand and 1 million inhabitants, according to the 2025 Yearbook of The Safest Cities in Brazil, produced by the platform MySide and cited by the City Hall.

The city administration states that the study takes into account, among other indicators, the rate of violent deaths per 100 thousand inhabitants, based on information from the Federal Government’s Mortality Monitoring Panel and population data from IBGE.

The municipality is also linked to the number of new business openings in Santa Catarina.

Publications that reported data from the State Board of Trade (Jucesc) indicated that Joinville had, in 2025, an average of 74 new businesses per day, compared to the total registrations linked to the municipality.

At the same time, the state government announced that Santa Catarina recorded a record number of new CNPJs in 2025, with 293 thousand businesses opened and 153 thousand closed in the state.

The information was presented as a positive balance during the period, in a historical series monitored by Jucesc.

Ranking Of The Safest Cities And Yearbook Criteria

The City Hall maintains that Joinville has advanced positions in the ranking and attributes the result to integrated public safety actions.

In the statement, the administration highlights that MySide’s survey relies on official data to compose the lethal violence indicator.

MySide also publishes an overall ranking of the 30 safest cities in Brazil, where the top spots are held by smaller municipalities in Santa Catarina, such as Brusque, Jaraguá do Sul, and Tubarão.

Therefore, Joinville gains more prominence when the analysis is made by population range, as in the classification mentioned by the City Hall.

Monitoring Cameras And Public Safety Actions In Joinville

Since 2021, the City Hall claims to have increased investments in this area through the Civil Protection and Public Safety Secretariat.

Among the measures cited is the Joinville Always Alert program, described as a system with more than 2 thousand cameras installed in different points of the city.

According to the municipal administration, the images are shared with security forces to support investigations and guide preventive actions.

The same institutional text informs that the monitoring is also used to support emergency responses and patrolling.

Another aspect presented is the reinforcement of personnel.

The City Hall reported the hiring of 88 agents through a public competition and stated that the total number of the Municipal Guard has reached 120 members.

In addition, the municipality reports conducting operations by the Public Order Action Group (GAOP), described as integrated actions that bring together municipal agencies and state forces, including the Military Police, Civil Police, Scientific Police, Traffic Departments, and Civil Defense, as well as City Hall secretariats.

In commenting on the numbers, the municipal management included a statement from Secretary Paulo Rogério Rigo, associating the ranking position with joint action among institutions and the investments made in the area.
