Fernando Haddad, a pre-candidate for governor of São Paulo, plans to incorporate federal government initiatives into his state security program [1].
This strategy links the state's public safety approach to the current federal administration's methods. By leveraging proven national policies, Haddad intends to address organized crime and violence through technological integration, and systemic oversight.
The proposal focuses heavily on the use of artificial intelligence to enhance surveillance and crime prevention [1]. Haddad also intends to implement continuous police body cameras to ensure accountability and transparency during law enforcement operations [1].
Beyond technology, the plan emphasizes targeted efforts to reduce theft and combat organized crime [1]. A primary pillar of the program involves specific measures to combat feminicide, aligning the state's response with federal priorities regarding violence against women [1].
These announcements were reported on July 16, 2026 [1]. The plan seeks to modernize the São Paulo security apparatus by mirroring the successful outcomes seen under President Lula's federal government [1].
Haddad said the goal is to improve public security by utilizing policies that have already demonstrated success at the national level [1]. This approach suggests a shift toward a more data-driven and centrally aligned security model for the state.
“Haddad plans to incorporate federal government initiatives into his state security program.”
Haddad's alignment with federal policies indicates a strategic effort to create a unified security front between the São Paulo state government and the Lula administration. By prioritizing AI and body cameras, the campaign is positioning itself as a modern, tech-forward alternative to current state leadership, while specifically targeting high-visibility issues like feminicide and organized crime to appeal to a broader demographic of voters.
