OBJECTIVES/PRINCIPLES:

The Children’s Life-saver intends to accomplish a preventive and educational program of conscientiousness for military police professionals, concerning the consequences of environmental and psychological conditions that affect their lives and where they are constantly exposed to in their daily activities. This understanding should focalize their personal point of view, including competence, emotional intelligence as well as the dimensions of human behavior with reference to the nature of self-esteem as an authentic differential of performance in familiar and community relationship.

We should demonstrate confidence in humans being that are present beneath the uniform, men and women acting within our military police, because they deserve and must receive our full support.

“They go out hastily in the morning, rushing to get the bus. Differently from the comfort they have for several hours during their daily work, when they patrol driving their large cars during work-time, they usually face agitation and become squeezed together with other ordinary workers like them when returning to their home. Any worker (laborer) deserves recognition for his (her) activity, but the policeman hides his profession, because he eventually be a target of a “bullet” right in his head, leaving behind him a widow and the torture of orphan children.

A new days begins, as if everything is bleak, hiding this human being that lives beneath the uniform. As any other ordinary people, the military police also has his own emotions, he loves, dreams and suffers, but can never demonstrate those feelings! He must use a uncouth speech and act with imposition. Of course this is not his own desire, but any vacillation and weakness or “humanity” while bearing the military uniform in contact with bandits could be a complete humiliation and disaster without any excuse or pardon”.
