The proposed career framework for agents foresees a total of 33 employees, including employees, managers and career police personnel.
The proposed salary scale varies between 45 thousand escudos/month (2nd class agent) and 90 thousand escudos/month (main officer) and the creation of the PMSF represents a monthly expense of 594 thousand escudos and an annual expense of 7,128 thousand escudos.
