Abstract

This piece of work is a research that culminated in this Work Completion Course of Social Sciences - Political Science. It has as its general objective to analyze what causes related to the health of the civil policemen have led them to quit the job in the city of São Borja. This topic is relevant because it shows a different view regarding the public safety professionals, specifically the Civil Police of São Borja which may have been taken as invisible so far, as workers who are included in different risky situations. So they need rights and public policies to meet their demands as citizens. The methodological procedures used were qualitative, exploratory and documental researches. Two delegates has been interviewed, as well as information collected on the civil police effectiveness folders. Content analysis was performed. After researches it became clear that within these five years, some of the Civil Policemen have been exposed to recurrent diseases, particularly as some serious psychological treatments, Repetitive Strain Injuries, tendinitis, etc, which led to suspensions from work of around one year, and other less severe as migraines, allergies, fatigue and others that did not result in any removal from the activities. It is noticed that neither the health policy nor the benefits for the police are supplying their needs, especially those who work in the border land, far away from de capital, so they end up using private plans, a sense that the state should take care to provide full health care.
