Abstract

This article analyzes a set of characteristics of the formation and deployment of the police force in the department of Lima during the early republic; and propose that the absence of a clear separation between the Army and the police force caused, to a large extent, that the last one had an unstable structure and limited deployment. To large extend, the state capacity to provide public security on the department of Lima was precarious.
