In 2016, at the LAAD Security, the Secretary of Public Security of Rio de Janeiro stated that while the Brazilian defense budget was recovering, public security budgets were still lagging behind, would be a limiting factor for the execution of public security policies. Thus, the question arises: how have defense and public security budgets evolved over the period 2003 to 2017? How are these budgets structured? What are the main variables impacting your budget execution? In addition to these questions, given the current context in which the two sectors (Defense and Public Security) merge with the Law and Order Guarantee (GLO) and the recent federal intervention, with the use of the Armed Forces in Rio de Janeiro. This article presents as objectives: to compare structurally the budgets of public security and defense in Brazil from 2003 to 2017; understand how the newly created Public Security Ministry is organized; and assess to what extent the actions of GLO can bring financial impacts to the Armed Forces. This type of analysis provides elements for the public planning and the control of the actions developed within the two segments and also, at the point where these segments are presenting an intersection. The research brings a discussion about the breadth of the concepts of internal and external security, as well as a bibliographical and documentary revision on the security public spending.
