RESUMO

This paper seeks to verify the interests behind the implementation of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.), a drug prevention program created in the United States in the beginning of the 1980 s, by the São Paulo State Military Police starting on 1993 in Brazil under the name Programa Educacional de Resistência às Drogas e à Violência, known by the acronym PROERD. It became necessary to study the drug prevention policies adopted by both countries, as well as the law that permitted the military police to apply a prevention program in schools. The Brazilian-American relationship starting around 1930 was also researched, until the end of the military regime and the beginning of the Brazilian re-democratization process, taking under account the role of the repressive forces of the State during this period. The constitution of the São Paulo State Military Police in the beginning of the 1970 s was also researched, as well as the social changes that have occurred throughout its existence and that required changes in its way of operating, bringing the need of the adoption of a different structure around community policing. The perceived image of the military police, especially during the military regime, had contributed to the separation from the community and the disapproval of their acts by the citizens, that started demanding an institution that is committed to the preservation of life and integrity, being the PROERD and the community policing attempts to re-establish a relationship with society, building a positive image of the police force in regards to a more humanistic perspective.
