Sumario:A specially controversial issue in Criminal Law theory refers to whether the State may guarantee protection to citizens even if they are not in aspecific situation of dependency. Most scholars consider that police officers are obliged to prevent crimes against individuals and, in case of not acting as so, they must be held accountable as perpetrators or accomplices, according to the rules of ?commission by omission?. In this lecture, it will be offered an explanation of this special guarantee ? duty of the State based on the Theory of Freedom, from which it would be plausible to derive criminal liability for omission, to that police\nofficer who decides not to prevent a crime from occurring even when being able to do so. Moreover, this elucidation may serve as a guide to solve a specific theoretical problem: the possibility of limiting the scope of those powers that police officers enjoy by implementing an internal division of tasks.\n
