Research is a complex process whose transmission is laden with history and traditions, often repeated as a single, mandatory system in our universities. In the Venezuelan case, university management and research have been framed since 2009 by the Alma Mater Mission, which encourages universities to create knowledge from a new perspective, starting from local foundations. This approach is shared in the Citizen Security Policy, which is currently consolidating a community policing model. However, this scenario is concerned that these traditional practices, inherited from a banking model of education, are affecting the concept of community policing established in Venezuela. For this reason, this article presents a theoretical analysis supported by a qualitative approach and the hermeneutic method, with the intention of identifying categories to reveal the meaning of research instruction at the National Experimental Security University (UNES).
