In which extent do citizens credited to the Civilian Police some role in materializing the idea of human rights, understood as "mechanisms capable of providing equal treatment to different universalizing law enforcement to the different identities that are specified in the public space" (KANT DE LIMA, 2004)? To answer these questions we used data (quantitative and qualitative) gathered under III Police Station Visitors Week (2009). From this information, this paper discusses in which extension the civil policeman practices fit (or not) with the understanding of human rights in the actual scenario and how they can be transformed to promote this adequacy.
