In order to analyze the violence suffered by public security professionals, especially military police officers from Rio Grande do Norte, this work sought to reveal its causes and consequences. Based on bibliographic research in scientific publications, research and technical notes, as well as an empirical research that used an online questionnaire answered by 62 military policemen in the metropolitan region of Nata/RN, a profile of these professionals was outlined, and their perceptions about police victimization. The results showed that, despite not feeling safe to practice the profession and recognizing the need for (re) training, the police, for the most part, do not participate in technical-professional training for this confrontation. The factors that most contributed to the increase in this victimization were analyzed, concluding that, based on the relationship between theory and empirical research, the absence of training/(re)training is evident, as well as institutional protocols that aim to increase capacity technician-professional to minimize police victimization.
