[en] This communicaton means to trace the career of the Area Security Plan, conceived as a police strategic, tool enacted in two policy areas with contrasted organisational configurations. I intend to understand how this plan is integrated into the police organisation, particularly the daily management of police work and security. Considering the document as a methodological tool and following it (Freeman & Maybin, 2011) is helpful to highlight similarities and differences in the way in which the two studies police areas use the same instrument. I argue that the introduction of this public action tool in security matters produces specific appropriations by the local police force considered in different areas. These ones transform the constraint into a resource for their respective organisations (Crozier & Friedberg, 1977).
