Resumo(s)
O presente estudo analisa o contributo das novas tecnologias na identificação de comportamentos de risco e na otimização da eficácia operacional do Corpo de Intervenção,
Subunidade operacional da Unidade Especial de Polícia da Polícia de Segurança Pública, durante a gestão de grandes eventos. Inserido num contexto de crescente complexidade
social e tecnológica, o estudo procurou compreender de que forma a integração destas ferramentas pode apoiar a tomada de decisão e reforçar a capacidade de antecipação das
forças policiais. A investigação seguiu uma metodologia qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, baseada em entrevistas semiestruturadas a sete polícias da Unidade Especial de Polícia e do
Corpo de Intervenção, e em observação direta de uma missão real desta última Subunidade. A análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2012) permitiu identificar perceções, práticas e limitações
associadas à utilização das tecnologias em estudo. Os resultados confirmaram os objetivos definidos, demonstrando que os veículos aéreos não tripulados e a inteligência artificial
potenciam a recolha de informação em tempo real, aumentam a perceção situacional e favorecem uma atuação mais preventiva e proporcional. Foram, contudo, identificadas
limitações associadas à fadiga dos operadores e às exigências cognitivas das missões prolongadas. Conclui-se que a modernização tecnológica da Polícia de Segurança Pública é
inevitável e necessária, devendo ser acompanhada por formação especializada, supervisão ética e adaptação organizacional. O estudo oferece contributos relevantes para o debate
sobre a aplicação ética e eficiente da tecnologia na segurança pública e propõe linhas de investigação futura centradas na avaliação do impacto operacional e humano das tecnologias emergentes.
The present study analyses the contribution of new technologies to the identification of risk behaviours and the optimisation of the operational effectiveness of the Intervention Corps, an operational subunit of the Special Police Unit of the Public Security Police, during the management of large-scale events. Set within a context of increasing social and technological complexity, the study sought to understand how the integration of these tools can support decision-making and strengthen the anticipatory capacity of police forces. The research followed a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory methodology, based on semi-structured interviews with seven police officers from the Special Police Unit and the Intervention Corps, as well as on direct observation of a real mission carried out by the latter subunit. Content analysis (Bardin, 2012) enabled the identification of perceptions, practices, and limitations associated with the use of the technologies under study. The results confirmed the defined objectives, demonstrating that unmanned aerial vehicles and artificial intelligence enhance real-time information gathering, improve situational awareness, and promote a more preventive and proportional operational approach. However, limitations were identified, particularly those related to operator fatigue and the cognitive demands inherent to prolonged missions. It is concluded that the technological modernisation of the Public Security Police is both inevitable and necessary, yet it must be accompanied by specialised training, ethical supervision, and organisational adaptation. The study offers relevant contributions to the debate on the ethical and efficient application of technology in policing and proposes future research lines focused on assessing the operational and human impact of emerging technologies.
