Semestral report on the occurrences attended by the Municipal Guard of the City of Rio de Janeiro: from March to August 2008

Abstract

This report aims to present the initial results of a project developed between the Municipal Guard of the City of Rio de Janeiro (PCRJ) and the Pereira Passos Institute (IPP) regarding the structuring of a georeferenced database of occurrences recorded by GM-Rio. This initiative is fundamental for supporting public managers in decision-making, optimizing planning actions, and thus enabling the achievement of the intended results. In this sense, it is worth highlighting the efforts made by the Geoprocessing Management, in conjunction with the Municipal Guard, for the realization of this project. One of its great merits lies precisely in the possibility of spatially working with the data. This dimension has been increasingly valued with the advent and diffusion of new geoinformation technologies.
