Abstract(s)
O surgimento de novas ameaças a nível global tem impulsionado a intervenção de
novos atores na esfera da segurança. A função que outrora se encontrava reservada ao Estado
passou a ser complementada por entidades privadas, como forma de melhor responder às
exigências do referencial securitário. Neste contexto, o Estado tem optado cada vez mais em
delegar competências às empresas de segurança privada, mas mantendo na sua alçada o
controlo rigoroso do setor, através do exercício da fiscalização, por se consubstanciar numa
atividade suscetível de interferir com os direitos, liberdades e garantias dos cidadãos.
Em Cabo Verde, o controlo e fiscalização da formação e do exercício da atividade
das empresas de segurança privada, até 2008, era realizado pela Polícia Nacional. Em 2009
essas competências foram transferidas para a Direção-Geral da Administração Interna,
passando a Polícia a coadjuvar nesse processo. Todavia, denota-se uma carência em termos
da fiscalização, criando oportunidades para atuações irregulares. Assim, no presente trabalho
de investigação verificaremos como se materializa o controlo e fiscalização das empresas de
segurança privada em Cabo Verde, bem como analisaremos a articulação entre as empresas
de segurança privada e a Polícia Nacional. Por outro lado, tentaremos compreender o
contributo da segurança privada nas questões securitárias no país.
O controlo e fiscalização realizado em Cabo Verde é de carater pedagógico e algo
deficitário, pelo que a articulação entre a Polícia Nacional e as empresas de segurança
privada é diminuta. O empenhamento da segurança privada possibilita a libertação de
polícias em determinadas funções, permitindo afetá-los a outras valências securitárias de
maior prioridade, garantindo uma melhor segurança.
The emergence of new threats at a global level has driven the intervention of new actors in the security sphere. The function that was once reserved to the State is now complemented by private entities, as a way to better meet the demands of the security referential. In this context, the state has increasingly chosen to delegate powers to private security companies but keeping under its purview the strict control of the sector, through the exercise of supervision, as it is an activity that may interfere with the rights, freedoms and guarantees of citizens. In Cape Verde, the control and supervision of training and exercise of the activity of private security companies, until 2008, was carried out by the National Police. In 2009 these competencies were transferred to the Directorate General of Internal Administration, and the Police began to assist in this process. However, there is a lack of supervision, creating opportunities for irregular actions. Thus, in this research we will verify how the control and supervision of private security companies is materialized in Cape Verde, as well as analyze the articulation between private security companies and the National Police. On the other hand, we will try to understand the contribution of private security in security issues in the country. The control and supervision carried out in Cape Verde is of a pedagogical nature and somewhat deficient, so the articulation between the National Police and private security companies is minimal. The commitment of private security makes it possible to free police officers from certain functions, allowing them to be assigned to other security areas of higher priority, ensuring better security.
