Hierarchical relationship between SEF inspectors and the PSP and the SNR, established by the protocol

Issues related to uniformity and hierarchical relationships between SEF inspectors temporarily assigned to the PSP and GNR at the borders will be resolved in police-to-police protocol, the union representing these professionals said this Friday.

“We are comfortable with how everything will be handled operationally and administratively if this protocol is effectively signed,” the president of the SEF Research and Inspection Careers Union told Luse as two days remained until the SEF service closed. and Boundaries.

Rui Paiva explained that a protocol will be signed between the judicial police, where all inspectors from the SEF, PSP and GNR are transferred, which stipulates how the duties of inspectors in these two security forces will be coordinated.

According to the union leader, working hours, uniforms, hierarchical coordination and regulation, and how the relationship between inspectors and the PSP and GNR will work are issues that will be defined in the protocol.

Rui Paiva clarified that this protocol is at an advanced stage of negotiations with trade unions and should be signed next week.

The union president stressed that inspectors agree with this protocol and that it meets expectations.

The SEF transition regime establishes that inspectors will be transferred to PJ and non-police staff to the new Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA) and the Institute of Registration and Notary (IRN) with a “transitional regime of functional assignments”. , which allows SEF inspectors to perform duties for up to two years in the GNR and PSP at air and sea border posts.

The State People’s Republic, which will be responsible for sea and land borders, will have 80 inspectors, and the PSP, which will take control of air borders, will have 324 people.

“The main thing for us was the hierarchical communication between the inspectors. By signing this protocol, we felt comfortable in carrying out the mission. We believe that the decision made protects the operation, and this is the most important thing,” he said.

However, he did not agree with the number of inspectors that will be assigned to the PSP and GNR, considering it “exaggerated”, since these two security forces already have a considerable number of trained elements.

“We understand that support and training is needed in the second and third lines of control, but so many inspectors were not needed,” especially at airports, since the PSP already has 400 trained agents.

According to Rui Paiva, the list of inspectors who can join the service commission of AIMA and the Tax Administration should only be published next week.

The SEF investigations and inspections union will close on Saturday and begin a transfer process to represent PJ’s criminal investigations inspectors.

“Until the 28th he continues to represent the SEF inspectors, but from the 28th the transition process begins,” said Rui Paiva, who will not join another union that exists in PJ.
