Abstract

In this article we intend to present the basis for the development of public security policies in a period in which they did not constitute a subject of the political agenda. We focus on examples taken from police reports in order to monitor the legal evolution that concerns the organization of the São Paulo police force from 1868, when the CorpoPolicial Permanente was created, to 1901, the milestone of the last major legal change which fixed the police organization until 1924. Therefore, it is our intention to point out the militarization that implicated the São Paulo police force, as well as to inform the impact that those legal changes inflicted on policing practices and routines.
