CLARO, Ricardo. The Police Presence in Civil Protection. PO-RPCP [online]. 2022, vol.17, pp.127-140. Epub 28-Set-2022. ISSN 1647-4090. https://doi.org/10.33167/2184-2078.rpcp2022.17/pp.127-140.
Based on an integrated vision of national security, civil protection is assumed as an indispensable vector in the construction and restructuring of public security policies. Currently, security challenges such as natural disasters, the emergence of pandemics and serious accidents require a focused, coordinated and complementary response between the various security, civil protection and emergency institutions. This article analyzes the culture of civil protection in Portugal and the presence of security forces as civil protection agents and entities participating in various commissions. Through the analysis of the various systems and strategies established, the author demonstrates the presence of the National Republican Guard and the Public Security Police, as security forces, and simultaneously as civil protection agents.
