National Plan for Community Surveillance by Quadrants
This is a plan implemented by the Colombian National Police starting in 2010 that included an extensive training program for more than 9,000 police officers to improve interpersonal skills and apply new patrolling protocols.
The plan divided each city into small geographic areas (quadrants), assigned six policemen to each, established new policing and patrolling protocols that involved greater contact with the community, and held the policemen responsible for whatever happened in their quadrant in terms of security incidents.
