Municipal Guards ((ポルトガル語:Guardas Municipais'', singular:'' Guarda Municipal)), also called the Municipal Civil Guards (''Guardas Civis Municipais'', singular: ''Guarda Civil Municipal''), are the security forces of municipalities (cities) of Brazil. Created in the time of the Empire of Brazil, the guardsmen are subordinated to the municipality mayors (''prefeitos''). Trained as a civilian uniformed agency, the city guards are responsible to police the municipal parks, properties, installations and the interior of municipal councils and city halls, according to the Brazilian Federal Constitution. Their patrols are called ''rondas'' ("rounds") and there are 1,200 municipalities with Municipal Guards with more than 120,000 operatives according with the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. They are treated as police officers by the former president of the IPA (International Police Association) Brazilian section, Mr. George Henry Millard. The former Brazilian Minister of Justice and elected governor of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Mr. Tarso Genro, asked for them to be given more jurisdiction for their operatives, and especially for their official recognition by Brazil as public safety workers. ==Legal basis== Legally mandated missions IAW article 144, § 8º of the Federal Charter, when establishing activities, agencies and performance front to the Public Security and the safety of the people and the patrimony, stresses the responsibility of all but and mainly of the "State" (Union, States, Federal District and Cities), for the following: #Protection of goods, services and facilities #Organizing, directing and monitoring vehicle traffic in their territory #Ensuring the right of the community to enjoy or use public goods, obeying the legal requirements #Protecting the environment and historical, cultural and ecological heritage of the municipality #Providing assistance for domestic and foreign tourists 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Municipal Guards」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
