The results show that this effort by the institution has yielded some relevant results within each specialized division, with particular emphasis on the recovery of evaded taxes. It is concluded that the normative structuring and the contribution of human resources to the anti-corruption unit of the Civil Police of Pará had a direct impact on the institution's productivity indicators in combating this criminal niche.
