With a workforce of 20,000 members, considering the data from 2003 as still valid, the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) has approximately 1 agent for every 1,250 citizens. A small number to prevent and fight crime in a country of more than 25 million people. But if low numbers are a major weakness, it is the militarized dimension of police action that is a matter of great concern, as it often limits the exercise of citizenship. 'Repress' has been the most uttered word by PRM spokespersons at the national level.
