This research seeks to analyze the perception of the participation of the Colombian National Police in the national program of Houses of Justice and Civic Coexistence Centers. The article uses a descriptive analysis, interviews, and surveys to analyze the scope of police management in these scenarios. The research found that the framework of the program has favorable conditions for efficient articulation with other State entities and civil society organizations regarding crime prevention activities, alternative conflict resolution, and the promotion of citizen coexistence. It concludes that the creation of an institutional policy to increase and improve this participation would contribute to strengthening the ties of the National Police with citizens and to fulfilling its constitutional mandate.

Palabras clave : houses of justice; civic coexistence centers; coexistence handbooks; police mediation; alternative methods of conflict resolution.
