Registrations will be open from June 17 to July 18, through the portal of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV), the organizing body of the competition. To validate the registration, it is necessary to pay a fee of R$ 90.
After the final results of the competition are homologated and the approved candidates within the stipulated number of vacancies are called, they will begin the Training Course as Trainee Agents, preparing to take on the responsibilities of the Penitentiary Agent position.
This competition represents a significant opportunity for those wishing to join the Bahia Penitentiary Police, offering not only stability and an attractive salary but also the chance to contribute to security and rehabilitation in the state’s prison system.
There are high expectations for strong competition for the available vacancies, given the relevance and security offered by a public career.
