Esta investigación aprobó el análisis de las fuentes primarias de la PMDF, como leyes, reglamentos y ordenanzas, estudios realizados en otros países de la policía militar del Brasil y otros países que han utilizado un procedimiento de tránsito destinado a prevenir la delincuencia durante más tiempo. En los análisis realizados durante la investigación, era evidente que los índices delictivos disminuyeban cuando se utilizaba la policía de tráfico como instrumento.
