The events of the past week have raised a wake-up call to safety issues about what to do and what not to do during an approach. ABOUT no data+ spoke to Commander Colonel Kléber Pires of the 11th CRPM (Military Police Regional Command) who received basic advice.

During the police action, like last Thursday (10), during which there was a chase followed by an approach in a public institution, the commander says that it is natural to approach curiosity, but it is not safe.

“You have to be careful. If you hear a gunshot, don’t get close. Keep a natural distance. Stay in the security zone, go outside. Don’t question the actions of the police and avoid participating in the action.”

In the case that ended in UPA in Bela Vista, in San Jose, the patients in the department wanted to take a serum from a vein to see what happened, the people who left the queue with a password to see, in addition to those who went shoot a movie.

“There is no problem with shooting, today it is very common, but for now it is from afar and from a safe place. You can question police actions if they happen after rather than during,” he says.

In a situation like the one in the bank in Biguaçu, the commander warns not to react to any actions of the criminals. Even if it’s difficult, stay calm and always keep your hands in a visible place for the robbers.

“We ask that people who do not have the ability or knowledge do not try to be heroes,” he adds.

But what to do in case of robberies?

What you can do is try to gather information, Pires says.

“Know how many people are involved, identify suspects, store information, be able to help when it comes time to testify,” he says.

In addition, in some situations it may also be possible to call 190 during an incident.

For example, if in this case you can see the perpetrators approaching the victims who are at a certain distance, whether in a shopping center, on the street, at home, or in some institution where there is where to hide, in this case, you can call the police.
