Resumo(s)
O estudo investigou de que modo a Polícia de Segurança Pública, enquanto instituição, poderia promover depoimentos mais eficazes, fiáveis e coerentes em tribunal. Recolheu-se
evidência empírica junto de 1.461 polícias e 102 magistrados judiciais, através de questionário estruturado com subescalas de autoavaliação do desempenho em audiência e de valoração do depoimento. Constatou-se que a frequência do Curso de Investigação Criminal se associou a níveis superiores de desempenho percecionado em audiência e a maior
centralidade atribuída à prova testemunhal, sendo esta vantagem igualmente reconhecida por magistrados. Observou-se ainda um efeito de experiência, em que a maior frequência de idas a tribunal se relacionou com melhor gestão do contraditório e maior estabilidade do testemunho. Em termos institucionais, as conclusões apontaram para a necessidade de integrar treino prático de depoimento nos cursos nucleares, disponibilizar formação contínua transversal para polícias no ativo e consolidar procedimentos operacionais padrão que assegurassem separação de fontes, recolha do nível de confiança no momento e registo integral das entrevistas. Estas medidas traduziram-se numa melhoria da rastreabilidade do percurso probatório e numa redução da variabilidade entre serviços e perfis funcionais.
This study examined how the Portuguese Public Security Police, as an institution, could foster more effective, reliable, and coherent police testimony in court. Empirical evidence was collected from 1,461 police officers and 102 judicial magistrates using a structured questionnaire comprising subscales on self-assessment of performance in court and valuation of testimony. Attendance in the Criminal Investigation Course was associated with higher perceived performance in court and greater centrality attributed to testimonial evidence, and this advantage was also acknowledged by magistrates. An experience effect was also observed, whereby more frequent court appearances were related to better management of cross-examination and greater stability of testimony. Institutionally, the findings supported integrating practicaltestimony training into foundational courses, providing transversal continuing education for active officers, and consolidating standard operating procedures that ensured source separation,contemporaneous recording of confidence levels, and full recording of interviews. These measures translated into improved traceability of evidential pathways and reduced variability across services and functional profiles.
