A SEGURANÇA DE AUTORIDADES NO PARANÁ: UMA ANÁLISE CONCEITUAL DAS OPERAÇÕES DE SEGURANÇA APROXIMADA

The objective of this study was to analyze the concepts and methodology involved in the protection of dignitaries, as developed by the Military House of the Governorship of Paraná. The methodology adopted was exploratory and descriptive, with a qualitative approach based on bibliographic research to develop a literature review and support the procedures inherent to close protection of authorities. Presenting technical bibliographic references, this article demonstrates the depth of the security activities carried out by the Military House of Paraná (CM-PR). This institution is responsible for protecting governors, vice-governors, their families, and other state authorities, operating under strict protocols aimed at ensuring both the physical and symbolic integrity of these institutional figures. The research begins by identifying the complexity related to the standardization and continuous training of security agents working in this field, especially in the face of a contemporary scenario marked by political instability, hybrid threats, and increasing operational challenges. The goal is to understand how the proper application of techniques and regulations contributes to the effectiveness of dignitary protection. The results of this study showed that the protection of authorities aims to prevent, mitigate, or neutralize hostile actions targeting authorities and physical facilities under the responsibility of CM-PR. These security measures must be frequently updated to adapt to current realities and, most importantly, to the profile of the authority being protected.
