Gamification in Public Security: applicability in teaching operational techniques and procedures in the Military Police of Pará.

Abstract

The Military Police of Pará, as an executor of preventive policing, demands that its officers obtain training and qualifications in standardized procedures for their efficient performance in public safety with the use of more appropriate teaching methods, such as gamification. In this context, this article aims to present the concept and applicability of gamification in the teaching and training of operational procedures in the Military Police of Pará as a way to standardize the performance of military police officers. To this end, an applied, mixed and exploratory research was adopted, with bibliographic and documentary research in books, scientific articles and legislation to obtain information on the theme proposed in the Military Police of Pará, for later qualitative analysis of the effective application of gamification in the institution's teaching. The results show that the use of gamification in teaching in the Military Police of Pará enables the teaching-learning process to be more effective, so that military police students can learn public safety techniques and apply them satisfactorily in their functional practice. It is concluded that it is necessary to establish gamification with its standardization and training of the Military Police teaching staff so that this methodology can be applied in the Corporation's teaching events, as well as the adaptation of the Institution's distance learning platform, so that military police officers can obtain the knowledge necessary for the efficient execution of their preventive activity.
