Brazil public security and Pernambuco administrative trends

Overview

Public security trends in Brazil have shown significant shifts in crime statistics. In Pernambuco, authorities reported historical lows for intentional violent deaths and violent property crimes in August 2026, noting a 44% reduction in property crimes compared to the previous year. Ceará also reported a 42.5% reduction in lethal violent crimes between January and July 2026 and the lowest femicide rate in the country.

To address security needs, the Government of Pernambuco has formalized several recruitment processes. Notices for the Military Police (PMPE) and Military Firefighters Corps (CBMPE) offer a combined 1,890 vacancies, with PMPE applications scheduled between October 5 and November 5, 2026, and exams planned for February 2027. The Civil Police of Pernambuco (PCPE) is also recruiting for 1,315 vacancies for Agent, Clerk, and Delegate roles, with salaries up to R$ 13,560; applications are scheduled from October 15 to December 16, 2026.

In local administration, the Court of Accounts of Pernambuco (TCE-PE) is monitoring municipal reliance on temporary staff, mandating that such hires not exceed 50% of the workforce by the end of 2026.

Regarding election security, the Pernambuco Social Defense Secretariat (SDS) has launched ‘Operation Elections 2026’ to secure the second-round runoff. This operation involves the deployment of 28,227 security personnel and an investment of R$ 5,395,680.00. In Recife, municipal authorities are implementing accessibility measures, including opening 34 daycare centers for voters and providing adapted transportation in partnership with the Regional Electoral Court (TRE-PE).
