In Ecuador, according to reports, most of robbery modalities constantly decreased between 2009 and 2015. Homicide rate rose from 1999 to 2009 but decreased from 2010 to 2017 around 65%, from 18.74 to 5.78. It was the only case of this kind in the Americas. We described the nature of the studied proximity strategy and evaluated it  before-after  through exhaustive control groups. For so, we measured correlations between crimes decreasing and Euclidean radius around Communitarian police headquarters during the period when policies were implemented. We found that police proximity and related strategies are visibly associated with crime decreasing, but other contexts could also be involved. We suggest studying the Ecuadorian experience in depth as an important example of crime reduction. Resumen En Ecuador, la mayoría de las modalidades de robo disminuyeron constantemente entre 2009 y 2015, según denuncias administrativas, y aunque la tasa de homicidios aumentó de 1999 a 2009, disminuyó de manera progresiva y persistente de 2010 a 2017 en torno al 65%, de 18.74 a 5.78. Fue el único caso de este tipo en las Américas. Describimos la naturaleza de la estrategia de proximidad policial y la evaluamos antes-después. Para ello, medimos las correlaciones entre los crímenes decrecientes y el radio euclidiano alrededor de las sedes de la Policía Comunitaria en el período mismo de la implementación. Se encontró que la proximidad policial está visiblemente asociada a la disminución de la delincuencia, pero también podrían estar involucradas otras políticas y contextos. Sugerimos estudiar la experiencia ecuatoriana en profundidad como un ejemplo importante de reducción del crimen.
