Abstract

This article addresses the effects of alcohol on the behavior of law enforcement officials in the Tulcán district to assist institutional feedback, which is essential for growth and evaluative processes. The problem is posed as a behavioral phenomenon that does not originate exclusively in a substance, but results from multiple variables that act directly and indirectly in the development of consumer behavior. In such virtue, this phenomenon may not be understood from a linear or traditional perspective, it is necessary to incorporate a theory that conceives complexity. To  analyze these effects, statistical methods and data are used. Results show a decreasing tendency of disciplinary faults, and simultaneously evidence the types of behaviors related to alcohol that the Institutional Discipline Regulation sanctions. Likewise, the recursive loop effect, by means of which the Institution acts on its members and at the same time, its members influence the police entity they belong to, is made evident. Due to the above, completely stopping alcohol consumption within the conventional and non-conventional activities carried out in the institution becomes mandatory.
