The criminality increase in the last decades caused answers that, in general, tended to two opposite directions regarding to the public policies of safety – on one hand, hardening, on the other, opening to the common use participation. The worry in controlling the violence has been carrying to punishment reinforcement as Punitive State resource as well as the police approach attempts with the population, like the Community policing. In Latin America, faced with the legitimacy crisis that the polices passed through with the authoritarianism transition to the democracy, the community model of policing was used as an attempt to recover prestige. In Brazil, the community policing arises as the great optional suggestion to the traditional policing. Also called “Citizen Police”, it bets on integration with the community and in the prevention as solution for the safety problems. It incorporates, therefore, a reciprocity and co-responsibility new dynamics between society and police, giving credit to an action ruled in democratic values. Inside and outside Brazil, the community policing was proposed and praised as the solution to safety problems as well as integration difficulties between police and society, however, it matters to know up to certain point the implantation of this policing resulted in solution and, in fact, managed to distinguish itself from the traditional policing. In this sense, the present study had as main goal to analyze the structuring of the community policing in the city of Aracaju initiated in 1996 and to characterize the demands profile for safety as well as the social participation in the implementation of this public policies, relating these elements to the violence reduction.
