SUMMARY:

Drug use and abuse is a serious public health problem, having a strong relationship with conditions of social vulnerability and crimes in general, such as trafficking and violence. The objective of the present study was to describe the profile of arrests of marijuana, cocaine and crack, carried out by the Civil Police, in the Central-West region of Minas Gerais. This is a descriptive observational study designed according to the guidelines proposed by the Declaration of Strengthening Reports of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE), carried out on a documentary basis from January 2017 to December 2019. Data collection took place on the 1st Regional Civil Police Department of the 7th Civil Police Department, based in Divinópolis, with cases selected from the municipalities of Divinópolis, Itaúna, Cláudio, Carmo do Cajuru and Itatiaiuçu. The number of arrests per municipality, the nature of the crimes related to these arrests, the number of perpetrators involved in the arrests, the sociodemographic profile of the individuals arrested, the type and forms of the drugs arrested were determined. The database was created using the Questionnaire Development System (QDS) version 2.6.1.1 program, and later, the data were exported to the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 for statistical analysis. A total of 5,903 documents related to drug arrests were analyzed during the study period. The city that anchors the largest number of drug arrests is the municipality of Divinópolis (64%). Regarding the nature of the fact, the crime most correlated with these apprehensions belongs to illicit drug trafficking (59.2%), and which mostly involved more than one perpetrator (57.8%). The profile of individuals arrested for involvement with drugs was mostly male (90.8%), with a median age of 22 years, literate (32.8%) and single (67%). Among the drugs arrested, marijuana ranked first (63.9%), followed by cocaine (18.5%) and crack (17.7%). The form that most appears in the apprehensions is the loofah for marijuana (31%), paper bags for cocaine (82.3%) and rocks for crack (81.6%). Knowledge about the profile of drug arrests in the Central-West region of Minas Gerais becomes an important reference to assist in the planning of public policies for prevention and awareness according to the real demand, against the trade and consumption of drugs.
