Cotia received four new Civil Police chiefs, reinforcing the structure of the police stations and consequently the city's public security. With the arrival of these professionals, the city once again has 24-hour duty shifts, an important achievement for the population, especially for women victims of domestic violence.
The presentation ceremony for the new police chiefs took place on the 16th, at the headquarters of the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB), led by the head police chief of Cotia, Mônica Gamboa. The event was attended by OAB president Ricardo Rodrigues, Security Secretary Fabricio Dourado, Mobility and Transport Secretary Valdecir Fonseca, the commander of the Cotia Municipal Guard (GCM), Isabel Casaçola, as well as Solange Aroeira and Lena Miramontes, Secretary and Deputy Secretary for Women, Neurodiversity and Human Rights of Cotia.
The new police chiefs are Arnaldo Camata Neto, from Linhares (ES); Rafaela Batistela Garcia, from Francisco Beltrão (PR); Robson dos Santos e Silva, from Jucás (CE); and Julia Leidens, from Rio Grande do Sul.
The Central Police Station team also includes police chief Rafael Bruni Piana, from the Department of Judicial Police of the Capital (Decap), who works assisting the head police chief, alongside police chief Celso França.
The resumption of the 24-hour duty shift represents an important reinforcement for public security in Cotia, expanding access to police assistance and strengthening the response to incidents of violence against women.
"This meeting has a very special meaning for me, because we are not here only to present the five new police chiefs who are joining our team at the Central Police Station of Cotia. We are celebrating an important achievement, built from a real need, through dialogue, planning and a great deal of institutional coordination," said the head police chief in her speech as she swore in the new police chiefs.
"Our unit had gone five years without its own police duty team, a structure essential for handling incidents and for the continuity of police services," recalled Gamboa. As a result, incidents registered at night and on weekends had to be forwarded to Barueri, due to the absence of a police duty shift in Cotia. Now, these services can be carried out in the municipality itself, facilitating access to police services and avoiding travel to another city.
For Secretary Solange Aroeira, the change represents a significant advance in the network of protection for women. "Now, with the duty officers, cases registered at night will no longer need to be forwarded to Barueri, as happened previously," she celebrated.
The secretary also highlighted that the new professionals arrive with training focused on welcoming and listening to victims of domestic violence, a fundamental care to ensure more humane assistance to women seeking help.
