The arms tired, the ever alert look and the rifle - or a little gun - in the hands of more than 2,600 volunteers that conform the CRAC-PC, it gives a total turn to the concept that we have of “police”. For this territories, the “comunitarios” (volunteers) become in guardians elected for his own regional assemblies resguarding day by day, the dreams of their families and communities.
