Alliance for Citizen Security


Explanation:
I've translated chapters in two books where the (bilingual) volume Another client was revising a book by former Mayor Mockus of Bogotá, and this bilingual person (a specialist in the field) also insisted that seguridad ciudadana be translated as "citizen security".

Neighborhood Watch group


Explanation:
It's not a political organization, nor a Force, but what seems to be roughly equivalent to a Neighborhood Watch Group. (http://www.nnwi.org/)

Si usted hace parte de una cuadra, conjunto cerrado, edificio, o sector específico, en el cual quiera contribuir a la convivencia pacífica, solidaria y segura; además buscar la integridad con su comunidad en proyectos de ser líderes cívicos, educativos, ecológicos, culturales, deportivos y de salud, puede solicitar ante la Policía Nacional el apoyo y acompañamiento para conformar un frente de seguridad.

http://www.gobiernoenlinea.gov.co/tramite.aspx?traID=4109

a tal punto que ya se unieron y organizaron un frente de seguridad ciudadana con el apoyo de la Policía Comunitaria

Si su comunidad cuenta con su frente de seguridad ciudadana o grupo de auto vigilancia

Con el propósito de conformar un frente de seguridad ciudadana en el barrio Villa Grande de la ciudad de Calarcá
