In many of the studies related to public security in the country the macro level analysis dominates, with a centralist accent and an emphasis on policies andmeasures implemented by the Executive Branch. Reason why this article focuses on the local dimension of public security policies, highlighting the importance of municipalities in the management and implementation of these policies, especially at a time when the territorial presence of the state was undertaken by criminal groups. In this sense, the strategic role of the Municipal Agents Corp (CAM) in violence and crime prevention will be analyzed, as well as the recovery of state presence in the territory, stating the inaccuracies and legal impediments, including politicians, who do not allow this corps to have a more decisive role in security and local development.
