with resources. The funds allocated for the purchase of material goods should take into account the
growing demands, the need to make effective investment that will generate long-term positive effects.
This service requires intervention vehicles, increasing its share of fuel allocated to allow staff intervention

required in all cases, better facilities for training space that have specialized equipment, space for
business use of arms, to practice skill.

Employees feel the need for training activities. For continuous improvement of performance, one element

is the permanent training of employees through profesional training activities to update knowledge and to
