São Paulo Penitentiary Police Contest Offers 1,100 Male Positions with Initial Salary of R$ 4,695.60, Applications Until December 22, 2025, Fee of R$ 122.17, and Four Elimination Phases Defined in Detailed Notice
The São Paulo Penitentiary Police contest has extended applications until December 22 to fill 1,100 male positions, with an initial salary of R$ 4,695.60, because the new career created in September 2024 unified old penitentiary positions and expanded the structure of public safety.
The Secretary of Penitentiary Administration reported that the career requires a higher education degree and exclusive dedication, a factor that prevents parallel paid activities and establishes a full-time bond of the penitentiary police officer with the prison units and other institutional services.
The São Paulo government highlighted that the legislation approved in September 2024 unified ASP and AEVP agents, creating the Penitentiary Police as a permanent body aligned with the Military, Civil, and Technical Scientific structures, according to state security guidelines.

Legal Structure of the Career
The Penitentiary Police was established by LC 1,416 of September 26, 2024, regulating the institution’s Statute and defining that the staff must be exclusively filled through public competition.
The Penitentiary Police of the State of São Paulo integrates the public safety system and is subordinated to the Secretary of Penitentiary Administration, according to parameters organized after the Constitutional Amendment 104 of 2019.
The penitentiary police officer works on an exclusive dedication basis and may act in shifts or administrative duties according to institutional demands, maintaining a routine aligned with the needs of the penitentiary system.
Career Responsibilities
The penitentiary police officer performs surveillance, security, and prevention of occurrences in penal establishments, in addition to promoting custody and care of inmates, preventing escapes and evasion registered in the units.
The career also includes escorts and interstate or intrastate movements of individuals deprived of liberty, following protocols defined by penitentiary authorities.
The institution is responsible for preventing and repressing crimes, contraventions, and internal disciplinary infractions, as well as coordinating crisis management and tactical interventions, according to legal standards.

Additional Information
The creation of the career occurred after a structural review of the penitentiary system, which sought to organize responsibilities, define selection criteria, and expand the operational autonomy of the Penitentiary Police.
The position was structured to meet the growing demands of the São Paulo prison system, strengthening internal surveillance and security in complex units and increasing the number of qualified professionals.
The detailed selection process indicates the government’s expectation to consolidate the new functional model and avoid operational gaps in the system, considering that the career replaces old ASP and AEVP formations.
The Secretary of Penitentiary Administration reinforced that the career requires impeccable conduct and full aptitude, fundamental criteria for daily exercise of duties, which includes permanent physical and psychological preparation.
The social investigation norms seek to eliminate incompatible profiles, verifying the candidate’s professional and moral history. This point is considered essential for the function, even if it may lead to formal errors such as incomplete data entry.
With the institutionalization of the Penitentiary Police, the State now has a specific framework for the activities of custody, surveillance, and movement of inmates, consolidating its own structure within São Paulo public safety.
