The Colombian National Police inaugurated a comprehensive operational model in 2010. Informed by evidence-based law enforcement models from the Global North, the MNVCC, or the National Quadrant Policing Model, integrates core features of procedural justice, hotspots, problem-oriented and community policing strategies. Just under a decade old, empirical assessments of the model’s impact vary in quality and availability. While the Colombian National Police presents the model as a successful intervention, there is little consensus on the degree to which the MNVCC has affected crime rates or perceptions of insecurity. The core purpose of this paper is to offer insight into the political dimensions that enable this contradictory narrative. Relying on privileged access to high-level administrators inside the Colombian National Police and other institutions, this study explains how structural features of official crime data—with political incentives specific to the Colombian context—provide the basis for contradicting claims surrounding the MNVCC’s impact.

哥伦比亚国家警察和犯罪控制评估的政治

哥伦比亚国家警察于 2010 年启动了综合运作模式。 MNVCC 或国家象限警务模式以北半球循证执法模式为依据，整合了程序正义、热点、问题导向和社区警务的核心特征策略。在不到十年的时间里，对该模型影响的实证评估在质量和可用性方面各不相同。虽然哥伦比亚国家警察将该模式视为成功的干预，但对于 MNVCC 对犯罪率或不安全感的影响程度几乎没有共识。本文的核心目的是深入了解促成这种矛盾叙述的政治维度。
