The course has been designed to address the most urgent issues in public safety.
With a workload of 360 hours distributed over four trimesters, the program combines theory and practice to equip professionals with modern tools and advanced techniques in combating organized crime.
In the first trimester, the focus is on building a solid theoretical foundation with subjects such as Scientific Research Methodology, Cyber Intelligence, and Knowledge Management.
Next, the second trimester introduces Investigative Tools and Techniques, highlighting advanced methodologies in criminal and asset investigation.
In the last two periods, students study legal aspects, emerging technologies, and trends, concluding the specialization with a Final Course Paper (TCC).
According to the announcement No. 001/2025, this organization allows participants to develop a deep and integrated understanding of the real demands of public safety.
Who Can Register?
According to the Ministry of Justice, professionals with a bachelor’s degree recognized by MEC who work or have an interest in working in the areas of public safety, intelligence, or combating organized crime can participate in the selection.
Additionally, public servants with proven experience in the field have priority for a portion of the spots.
The 250 spots are divided into two categories: 200 for general competition and 50 for affirmative actions.
The distribution accommodates social groups in vulnerable situations, such as blacks, indigenous peoples, and people with disabilities, promoting diversity and inclusion in the training process.
Selection Process of UFSC
The selection process consists of two main stages:
- Curriculum Analysis (60%) – Evaluates academic background and scientific competencies based on the Lattes Curriculum.
- Title Test (40%) – Considers length of service and work in specialized units.
The classification of candidates will be determined by the sum of the scores from both stages.
The tie-breaking criteria include higher scores in the curriculum analysis, more service time, and older age.

Sensacional!!! É tudo que precisamos para melhorar o país, pois o crime organizado está cada vez maior em nossa sociedade.
Importante retificar a matéria. Dá a entender que qualquer um pode participar. Mas li o edital e vi que a especialização é exclusiva para servidores efetivos e ativos dos órgãos de segurança e correlatos. Não tem vaga para membros da sociedade civil.
Sem dúvida, o cenário brasileiro ao qual vivenciamos precisa com urgência de profissionais capacitados.
