To this end, it conducted a survey and semi-structured interviews with soldiers and officers, mainly from the regional Training and Instruction Battalion. The data was collected by applying the perceptions of fear of crime model and analyzed using statistical software. There were positive results among the findings concerning a decline in the perception of fear and an increase in the trust between soldiers and the community.
