Therefore, after crossing the data, it was found that initially the new entry had the idea that such principles are harmful to the military police activity, but that after the development of the content related to human rights principles, it presented a change in the understanding , and in all the questions presented, there was an increase in agreement with the use of techniques and strategies aimed at bringing the community closer together, and a decrease in agreement with the issues that human rights expand impunity and that they should not be applied in police activity. Initially, we observed a harmful dichotomy to the exercise of the function of maintainer of public order, but with the correct and targeted training, the agents managed to absolve the real importance of human rights and to develop actions based on legality.
