Overview

• The approved provision grants bonuses of 10% to 150% of salary for outcomes described as the 'neutralization' of suspects or for the seizure of high‑caliber weapons.
• The incentive is embedded in a Civil Police reform bill, and critics warn it could later be applied to the Military Police.
• Human rights groups and lawmakers, including Henrique Vieira, argue the policy rewards lethal force and heightens risks for Black communities.
• The Civil Police commissioners' union opposes the measure, saying it could push officers into more dangerous confrontations.
• The policy revives a 1995–1998 bonus that was repealed after police killings increased, as official data show 703 deaths in Rio police operations in 2024, down 19% from 2023.
