MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE STATE OF PARÁ:

ANALYSIS OF THE BUDGET EXECUTION OF PUBLIC SAFETY INSTITUTIONS IN THE STATE OF PARÁ FROM 2017 TO 2020

Abstract

Introduction: Public security has one of the largest budgets in Brazil, divided into federal (12%), state (82%) and municipal (6%) spheres. Thus, the states are responsible for the largest share of these resources, with the State of Pará responsible for the largest budget for public security in the northern region of the country. Its budget in 2020 was BRL 3 billion, while in 2021 it was BRL 3.4 billion, which represents an increase of 11.77% over the previous year. However, despite this relevance, there are few studies that evaluate the execution of the budget for public security in the State of Pará. Objective: The present study sought to analyze the budget execution of public security institutions in the State of Pará, from 2017 to 2020. Methodology: A quantitative and qualitative analysis of data extracted from the rendering of accounts sent by the institutions studied to the Court of Auditors of the State of Pará. Results: By analyzing the data obtained, it was found that there is a high rate of budget execution, above 90%, when it comes to the global budget. However, when it comes to the analysis of execution restricted to the discretionary budget, there was a low rate of execution, reaching, in some years, levels below 50% (fifty percent) of execution of the available budget. Conclusion: The hypothesis raised was confirmed, since a high percentage of budget execution was found when analyzing the global budget and a low percentage of execution when analyzing the discretionary budget.
