Brazil municipal guard recruitment and legislative reform

Overview

Municipalities in Brazil continue to expand recruitment for Municipal Civil Guard (GCM) positions. In Itanhaém, São Paulo, applications for 20 vacancies plus a reserve list remain open until September 29, 2026, with total monthly salaries reaching R$ 4,525.40. Salvador is also conducting a selection process for 50 vacancies, with registration open until October 30, 2026, involving objective exams, physical fitness tests, and psychological evaluations.

Recruitment activity has intensified across the state of São Paulo. In Hortolândia, a selection process for 40 Municipal Guard 4th Class roles has reached the stage of releasing preliminary answer keys; these positions offer a starting salary of R$ 3,971.37 plus benefits. Furthermore, a combined 342 vacancies have been announced in cities including Guarulhos, Mauá, Paulínia, and Itatinga. The Guarulhos process alone offers 200 vacancies with potential earnings up to R$ 4,676.85 when including food assistance.

Concurrently, a legislative proposal is being considered in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies to standardize and enhance these roles. Bill 5.479/2026, authored by Deputy Marcos Tavares, proposes a national reference salary floor of R$ 7,000 per month for a 40-hour work week. The bill also suggests allowing municipalities to use the designation ‘Municipal Police’ on uniforms and vehicles, while providing federal financial assistance to cities with limited fiscal capacity.
