Five new officer candidates of the Military Police of Minas Gerais reported for duty this Tuesday (10) at the headquarters of the 8th Military Police Battalion (8º BPM), in Lavras. They now begin their probationary period, a six-month internship that comes before promotion to the first officer rank.
During this period, the officer candidates will perform operational and administrative duties within the unit. The goal is to put into practice what they learned at the Military Police Academy and to gain experience in commanding troops.
At the end of the internship, if they meet the legal requirements and show aptitude for their new duties, the officers may be promoted to second lieutenant.
According to the battalion command, the arrival of the new officers strengthens the work of the unit, which is responsible for policing 25 municipalities in the region.
