Delegate Fernando Antônio Sodré de Oliveira, a pioneer in this position, proposes raising awareness and protecting vulnerable groups.
Fernando Antônio Sodré de Oliveira, the first black man to take over the leadership of the Civil Police in Rio Grande do Sul in 181 years, is determined to associate this institution with the defense of human rights, while acknowledging the existence of institutional racism in some policemen conducted in Brazil. In addition to his career as a policeman, Sodré is a university professor and doctoral student in Human Rights, seeking a management that makes police officers aware of the protection of vulnerable groups.
Sodré stresses the importance of rigorous, but not arbitrary, violent or callous police action. He believes that the police can play a positive role in society by helping victims and offenders, transforming lives and controlling crime in a humane way.
The delegate focuses his work on raising awareness of structural racism, criminal selectivity and representativeness, topics that are also part of his PhD research in Human Rights. He stresses the need for changes in public safety institutions, including mainstreaming anti-racist education and promoting diversity.
Sodré points out that racism cannot be attributed only to the police, but is a structural problem involving several institutions, including the judiciary and the public prosecutor. He believes that, to achieve full democracy in Brazil, it is essential to discuss and address the racial issue in all institutions in an open and serious way.
