The prosecutor, Renata Castro Rampanelli, representing the General Attorney of justice, doctor Luciano Casarotti, highlighted the Brazilian political polarization and stressed the need for the public security institutions to work together, "the prosecutor is very happy and honored with the invitation to address such a controversial issue today, because of the political polarization. Human rights within public security are very important, and I hope that today we can enrich the subject more, each one bringing, from their point of view, their daily work, the practice, so that we can discuss solutions so that human rights and public security can coexist and not conflict, so that we can improve this vision that we have and really put it into practice", he concluded.
Also during the opening ceremony, Colonel QOPM, Cláudio Thomaz Coelho de Souza, Chief of Staff of the Military Police of the State of Tocantins, took the opportunity to highlight the work of the Military Police as the main agent in the promotion of human rights in society.
"This is a very important theme for our institution, the military police. I believe that human rights begin inside our homes, in the relationships between father and son, in family relationships, and then it extends to the present society. The military police is the first promoter of human rights, we are the ones who deal with the day to day difficulties on the streets, in dealing with society, in the daily handling of conflicts. "I see this event as an opportune moment for us to have the wisdom to seek this knowledge and improve ourselves more", he commented.
