National Police Community Security Fronts in Colombia

Frentes de Seguridad are community organizations led by the Colombian National Police and supported by the Office for Citizen Security and Coexistence. The dataset catalogs these groups across regions, districts, and neighborhoods, with columns detailing their location and membership. It was last updated by datos.gov.co in December 2025.

Use Cases

• Map the distribution of security fronts across REGIÓN, DISTRITO, and BARRIO to identify coverage gaps.
• Analyze the relationship between ZONA (urban/rural) and NRO INTEGRANTES (member count) of community groups.
• Correlate the presence of security fronts with other local data using join keys like DISTRITO or ESTACIÓN (police station).

Strengths

• Includes specific administrative geography columns (REGIÓN, DISTRITO, BARRIO) for spatial analysis.
• Data is current, with a last update timestamp of 2025-12-19.

Limitations

• Unknown total row count and sample size, preventing assessment of statistical significance.
• Lacks demographic or outcome data to measure the effectiveness of the listed security fronts.
• Geographic coverage is limited to Colombia, specifically areas where the National Police operates.
