The National Development Plan “Prosperidad para Todos”, in its chapters VII and VIII highlighted the importance of strengthening the national system of science and technology based on the articulation among the University, the Government, and the Production Industry. For this articulation to take effect, it is necessary to strengthen the capacities of the institutions to transfer research results, which work as facilitating bridges between the needs of society and the private and public sectors, and the supply of science and technology products generated in each university, which can give total or partial solution to those needs.
Based on that, the project from which this article arises had the purpose of characterizing the state of the art of the current process of transferring research and knowledge management results that has been carried out by the School for Non-commissioned Police Officers,Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada, as the case study that documents the methodology that was used to map their capabilities for knowledge management and transfer in an organization. According to the above, one of the main findings of the research was to identify what the main obstacles to improve the processes of development and maturation of research projects and products subjected to be transferred to the public sector would be. It was observed that the biggest obstacle to overcome is the continuity of the projects or initiatives, the low level of disclosure, and the lack of training and development of tutorials for their implementation.
