ALMEIDA, Adilson. The program of peacemaker police unit as an instrument of a competitive city project. GOT [online]. 2018, n.15, pp.5-29. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2018.15.001.

The purpose of this article is to discuss the targets of the Peacekeeping Police Unit Program as a consolidation instrument of the strategic planning schedule adopted in Rio de Janeiro, which aims to deliver a image of a safe city, with conditions to host large-scale events and, first and foremost, to be attractive to the market and to large investors. For this, we develop the thesis, based on the analysis of its economic viability, that the Peacekeeping Police Unit Program could not be uniformly implemented and maintained in all urban areas, claiming the use of selective criteria. In conclusion, it will be presented the specific urban areas where the mentioned program was installed, and the motivation beneath the elections of these areas.

Keywords : Rio de Janeiro; public policies; public security; Peacekeeping Police Units; neoliberalism; competitive cities.
