Portugal security forces leadership evolution

Overview

The leadership structure of Portuguese security forces has undergone significant long-term transformation. Following legislative reforms in the 1990s, the Public Security Police (PSP) transitioned from a military-led model to a demilitarized structure, replacing the General Commander role with a National Director.

In recent leadership developments, Superintendent Pedro Moura has been named the new national director of the PSP, succeeding Luís Carrilho. This appointment represents the third change in the force’s leadership within a three-year period. Moura, who previously served as the general coordinator of the Border and Foreigners Unit, will take over from Carrilho, who is expected to move into an international liaison role in Paris.
