MINISTRO DA JUSTICA PROMETE MUDANCA NA SEGURANCA PARA A COPA DE 2014

Apesar dos graves problemas de segurança pública enfrentados pelo Brasil, o ministro da Justiça, Luiz Paulo Barreto, afirmou que a área sofrerá grandes mudanças até a realização da Copa do Mundo de 2014.

Durante sua participação na abertura do 2º Encontro Técnico de Segurança Pública voltado para o Mundial da Fifa, em Brasília, ele frisou que parcerias internacionais com países como os Estados Unidos vão ajudar o setor a desenvolver estratégias de treinamento e de combate a todo tipo de problemas de ordem pública.

"O governo dos EUA está nos ajudando num trabalho de integração que já está em seu sétimo encontro. Mais do que deixar um legado, queremos que o Brasil, nos próximos quatro anos, esteja muito mais avançado em termos de tecnologia, não apenas para estes grandes eventos, mas também para a segurança do cidadão posteriormente", disse.

Segundo o ministro, os problemas que o Rio de Janeiro enfrenta atualmente, com uma série de arrastões e assaltos nas vias, começarão a ser combatidos com mais rigor. "O projeto do Rio começou com a implantação das Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora (UPPs), novos mecanismos de segurança e tecnologia. Agora, estamos enfrentando esses problemas, que serão combatidos com rigor. Conversei hoje com o governador do Rio, Sérgio Cabral, a fim de que a polícia rodoviária esteja mais presente também em grandes rodovias de acesso à cidade. Estamos confiantes de que vamos devolver a tranquilidade ao cidadão carioca", completou.

Participam do encontro mais de 100 representantes de áreas diversas de segurança de todos os estados do País. O evento terminará amanhã e terá, ainda, a apresentação do Plano Estratégico das Ações de Segurança para a Copa de 2014, desenvolvido pelo Governo Federal em parceria com as forças de segurança estaduais e municipais.

DRUNK STROKE VICTIM CLEARED OF CHARGES AT BRISTOL ROVERS

A Tranmere Rovers fan has been acquitted of being drunk at a game after police misread his stroke symptoms. Steve Renton was thrown out of Bristol Rovers’ Memorial Stadium back in March during his team’s goalless draw. He was charged by police and ordered to attend trial at Bristol Magistrates Court.

During the two-day hearing Magistrates heard that Renton, of Birkenhead, had in fact been the victim of a stroke two years ago which left him with slurred speech and difficulty staying on his feet.

He had been forced to travel to Bristol on five separate occasions at a cost of more than £400 and is now applying to have his travel and defence costs repaid by the state following the failed prosecution.

“It’s a big weight off my shoulders,” said Mr Renton. “I could have faced a football banning order if found guilty and I’ve never been in trouble with the police before.”

The prosecution alleged he had downed six cans of Carlsberg, stank of booze and was behaving in an erratic manner. But his defending solicitor produced a doctor’s note confirming his patient had suffered a stroke in June 2008.

Renton initially came to the police’s attention at the game after intervening in an argument between two Tranmere Rovers fans, apparently over a girl.

“There is no doubt you stank of alcohol but if you had a drink now in this room you would smell. In that football ground these police officers genuinely felt you were drunk but we have the benefit of your medical report,” said Magistrate Robert Jennings. “This would never have happened if you hadn’t stuck your nose into other business.”

Five Step Process – Checklists – Updated Best Practices

Our schools are generally safe places but when disaster strikes it makes media headlines around the country. In the last ten years 105 students and staff have been shot to death in the nation’s schools and universities. Tens of thousands more have been injured a result of man-made or natural disasters.
Whatever the reason, incidents such as these at a school resonate because it’s our children who are at risk. That is why it is so important to have a comprehensive emergency response plan in place and to regularly practice it and revise it.
The School Security Handbook provides an easy to follow, easy to implement five step process for developing an emergency response plan that covers almost any eventuality. It covers the four phases of an emergency: mitigation and prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.
The School Security Handbook will enable educational facilities to be prepared for all eventualities, have the appropriate contingencies in place for when they happen and return to normal as soon as possible afterwards.
While the threat of a terrorist attack on a school is remote, it cannot be ruled out and this subject is covered extensively in the handbook. The Handbook also discusses the appropriate measures to be taken to protect against and mitigate the effects of natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires.
There are also sections on planning for a wide range of potential emergencies ranging from a major school bus accident to a shooter on campus, and from suicide to sexual harassment. How you create and implement your emergency plan is critical in effective emergency response and successful plans, well executed and regularly practiced, do save lives.
The School Security Handbook is a great tool and desk reference to support the development of new plans or to bring existing up to best practices standards.

BRASIL avança, mas é só 73º em desenvolvimento humano

O Brasil foi o país que mais avançou no ranking do Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) preparado pelo Programa das Nações Unidas para Desenvolvimento (PNUD). No documento deste ano, divulgado hoje, o Brasil passa a ocupar a 73ª colocação, desempenho suficiente para que integre o grupo de países de desenvolvimento humano elevado. Apesar do crescimento, o País ainda apresenta traços importantes de desigualdade social.
PUBLICIDADE
Na avaliação deste ano, o Brasil obteve quatro pontos a mais em comparação com 2009. O desempenho é significativo, sobretudo diante do cenário de estagnação revelado pelo estudo. Dos 169 países analisados, 116 mantiveram a posição apresentada em 2009 e 27 tiveram desempenho pior. Além do Brasil, somente outros 25 conseguiram melhorar a classificação, de acordo com o relatório.
O IDH analisa indicadores de desempenho de países em três áreas: saúde, educação e rendimento. Este ano, os indicadores e a forma de cálculo para se chegar ao índice mudaram. A escala, no entanto, permanece: varia de 0 a 1. Quanto mais próxima de um, melhor a situação do país. O Brasil alcançou índice 0,699. Noruega, a primeira colocada, chegou a 0,938. O pior indicador foi do Zimbábue: 0,140. Os países são classificados em quatro níveis, de acordo com as notas: desenvolvimento humano muito elevado, elevado, médio e baixo.
A mudança na composição do IDH ocorre no aniversário de 20 anos do relatório. "Os critérios de desenvolvimento humano mudaram, e a ideia foi usar indicadores mais sensíveis a essas mudanças", explica o economista Flávio Comim, do PNUD. A alteração deste ano fez com que índices de vários países, incluindo o Brasil, despencassem em relação ao ano passado. "Mas esses são números que não podem ser comparados. A metodologia é outra, o padrão é outro. É como se estivéssemos usando uma nova régua", compara Comim.
