Overview

• Lawmakers rejected a move to strip the bonus by 47 votes to 15 and approved the broader restructuring bill, which was sent to the governor.
• The amendment authorizes cash awards of 10% to 150% of an officer’s pay for seizing high‑caliber or restricted weapons and for the neutralization of criminals during operations.
• The bonus language was inserted through identical amendments backed by several deputies, including CCJ president and rapporteur Rodrigo Amorim.
• The package overhauls the Civil Police career structure from 11 to seven roles and sets benefits such as 230% danger pay for most civil police and a 212% representation allowance for delegates.
• Critics warn the payments could incentivize lethal force, recalling a similar program in effect from 1995 to 1998 that was later abolished.
