Sumario:The great majority of the research on peace justice was mainly centred in the first half of the nineteenth century. Yet, in the state consolidation process, the decentralization of the functions of the peace justice was not given the same attention. We will analise the gradual loss of the coercive functions of the court of peace with the creation of the police station in Tandil in 1872, being the main commercial and service centre of the south of the Province of Buenos Aires. We will study not only the police crade with its functions and relation to the rest of the powers; but also its relation to the society which had called for its creation. Recovering these social actors as active individuals, we will see the participation they had in this process, how they experienced the topic of safety in a border society and their relation to the state. In this way, we will be able to incorporate the points of consensus with the civil society, together with vigilance and punishment.
