The State of Rio de Janeiro has undertaken several administrative and institutional adjustments. Acting Governor Ricardo Couto issued decrees to reorganize the state's administrative structure by extinguishing 524 vacant commission positions. This reorganization included transforming 741 vacant roles into 217 positions with higher responsibility and value under the State Secretariat of the Civil House, as well as transferring legal advisory commission positions to the State Attorney General's Office to centralize legal guidance.

In a separate institutional development, the Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Rio de Janeiro (MPRJ) renewed a technical cooperation agreement with the Institute of Public Security (ISP). The 24-month extension focuses on enhancing criminal intelligence through the exchange of georeferenced microdata, territorial databases, and historical criminal records dating back to 2016. The partnership aims to improve monitoring, investigation tools, and the formulation of evidence-based public policies.
