Abstract

For that, it is necessary to describe the elements which are part of the PM, studying their main elements.

Besides the critical aspects related to the uncertain and routine, there is also the exclusive compromise and dedication (including the sacrifice of the own life) and the exposition, while serving ostensively as a police officer. Following that, a question arises about the violence on the job, which determines the police social uncovering. Finally, there are researches which give the necessary visibility to the referring aspects according to the violence on a military police officer’s life making it one of the most exposed professions exposed to the uncertain limit of life.Key words – Police work. Working process. Violence.
