This article investigates the role of the Office of Public Prosecutor in the inspection of public policies. The Office of Public Prosecutor is a permanent institution, essential to the jurisdictional function of the State, which currently plays a major role in Brazilian society. This reality is relatively recent, given that, with the 1988 Constitution, the Office of Public Prosecutor was deeply transformed. Before 1988, the agency was primarily responsible for criminal prosecution in court. Throughout the 1980s, Parquet received new assignments, including that of public policy enforcement, gaining a unique institutional design in the world. The present study has as general objective the description of this new attribution of control of public policies. To achieve this, the trajectory of empowerment will be described, as well as the powers of the Public Prosecutor in the inspection of public policies and the instruments available to the institution to carry out this inspection task, such as public civil action, civil inquiry, conduct adjustment commitment, recommendation and public hearing. As a methodology, content analysis of scientific texts and of laws, legislative proposals, court proceedings and extrajudicial procedures were used.
