In this article, we outline and problematize the production of subjectivity by military police women from their experiences in the daily work of a Military Police Battalion in the state of Paraná (MPPR). As a theoretical basis for our discussions, we recovered some of Michel Foucault's assumptions, such as subjectivity, discipline and discursive practices. To this end, the survey counted on the participation of six active police officers, through interviews. In this way, we investigate what is the relationship between the experiences as police of these women, with the way in which they are produced as subjects in an institution historically considered to be male. From the analysis carried out, we developed a category called “care relationships with the other”. We consider that characteristics considered as masculine directly permeate the production of subjectivities of police women who have their experiences in this institutional context crossed by discourses and practices based on a gender binarism that supports an ideal of feminine, at the same time, in which it reinforces an ideal of referential masculinity. We understand that there is a need to deepen some perspectives with regard to research in Psychology in the field of the Military Police, such as gender relations, for example.
