The public selection process for the Military Police of Rio Grande do Norte (PMRN) has resumed following a judicial decision that overturned a previous suspension. The contest, which includes positions for musicians and health professionals, had been halted by the 2nd Public Finance Court of Natal due to a civil public action by the State Public Defender's Office.

The legal challenge cited irregularities in the selection notice, specifically regarding the reduction of quotas for Black and mixed-race candidates from 30% to 20%, the removal of vacancies for Indigenous and Quilombola candidates after registration had closed, and the absence of reserved spots for people with disabilities.

A new schedule has been established, with objective exams set for September 20. The selection process is projected to conclude by April 16, 2027.
