The National Force of Public Safety (Portuguese: "Força Nacional de Segurança Pública"; FNSP), created in 2004, is a joint cooperation of various Brazilian Public Safety forces, co-ordinated by the "National Secretariat of Public Safety" (SENASP), of the Ministry of Justice. It is an agency that was created during the administration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a concept developed by the Minister of Justice, Márcio Thomaz Bastos.

Command

The Secretary of the SENASP, Police Commissioner of the Brazilian Federal Police, Luiz Fernando Correa, is in overall charge of the Force, while the Colonel of the Military Police of Rio Grande do Sul, Aurélio Ferreira Rodrigues, has operational and direct control of the force.

Training

The National Force is composed by men of the Brazilian Military Police of the various states of Brazil, in coordination with the Secretary of public safety of each differerent Brazilian state.

Law enforcement officers receive initially 100 hours of further education, divided in ten days of training. They are classes in: human rights, control of civil riots, ostensive policing, crisis management and shooting techniques.

Performances

On different occasions, the National Force was called in the state of Espirito Santo as well as in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, primarily to help containing rebellions inside prisons. On another occasion, the federal government offered to send the National Force to assist the state of São Paulo against acts of violence organized there, in 2006, again by prisoners against the state public safety forces, but the federal government offer was refused by the state government, as the state claimed control over the prisoners.

The governor of the state of Rio De Janeiro, Sérgio Cabral Filho asked for support from the National Force of Public Safety back in 2007 when the state suffered from a wave of attacks by several criminal factions. The Federal Government agreed to send a contingent of about 500 men and 52 vehicles to patrol 19 critical points within the state, mostly the "favelas' areas. This has been an ongoing crisis still to be resolved.
