The Government of Pará continues to work hard to reduce crime rates throughout the state. In August 2025, the state achieved a 74% reduction in robbery rates and a 37% reduction in thefts, compared to the same month in 2018.
According to the survey, August 2025 achieved the best result in the robbery rate of the entire historical series since 2010.

The trend of reduction, points out the head of Segup, Ualame Machado, reflects the government's commitment to protecting the people of Pará and that investments in technology, intelligence, and the integration of security forces have proven effective.
“It is with great satisfaction that we present the results achieved in public security in Pará. In August 2025, we recorded the lowest robbery rate since 2010, representing a significant reduction of 74% compared to August 2018. This is the best August in 15 years, a historic milestone that demonstrates the success of our security policies,” said Ualame Machado.

The Government of Pará has intensified its efforts to combat property crimes by implementing various strategic actions. In 2025, an additional 50 public safety kiosks were installed at strategic points, totaling now 100 devices distributed throughout the state, in addition to the delivery of new vehicles and modernized police stations to strengthen the actions of law enforcement.
Additionally, there are plans to increase the police force with ongoing public competitions, aiming to enhance the presence and response capacity of the state in protecting citizens and their property.
“For the remainder of the year, we envision an even more positive scenario. We will continue to strengthen our actions, focusing on prevention and combating crime, to ensure that Pará is an increasingly safe state for everyone,” concluded Ualame.
