Public Security PEC: proposal could increase resources and investments in PI security, says secretary

The national secretary of Public Security, Chico Lucas, stated that the Proposed Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) of Public Security should pave the way for the expansion of federal resources allocated to Piauí.

In an interview with Bom Dia Piauí this Tuesday (3), he explained that the proposal envisages the creation of a national fund to finance actions to combat organized crime and strengthen public security in states and municipalities.

When commenting on the reduction of the age of criminal responsibility to 16 years in cases of heinous crimes, Chico Lucas reiterated his support for the proposal. However, he stated that the topic will be discussed in a separate PEC, so as not to delay the approval of measures related to the financing and organization of public security.
