Abstract

The state of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, is a reference in terms of police formation, police restructuring and implementation of police procedures. From this context, we developed an ethnography about the police work in specialized police stations, an unexplored field of study in Rio de Janeiro. This article aims to briefly discuss the police formation curriculum in the Police Academy (ACADEPOL), and its correlation or not to specialised police activity as well as police officers' representation about their job. Preliminary survey indicates that almost all the officers' knowledge and experience is acquired in their daily routine. There are hardly any specialization formal activities.

Keywords: Civil policy. Professionalization and specialization.
