This qualitative study sets out to analyze the Colombian National Police's challenges to address the forced recruitment of children and adolescents problem in Tumaco (Nariño), a municipality profoundly affected by this issue, in the framework of the post-agreement. Prevention was considered as the police service's strategic approach. Semi-structured interviews were used to determine various factors that favor the phenomenon of illegal recruitment. Post-demobilization armed groups were characterized to understand their actions and the risk they represent to the population. It was found that the National Police must focus its efforts on confronting the causes of this phenomenon to prevent it rather than merely fighting its effects. Furthermore, maintaining minors away from the armed conflict and criminal groups is an inter-institutional challenge.
