This study aimed to investigate the production originated from a community radio, community radio titled Santa Marta, located in a slum of the same name, in the southern city of Rio de Janeiro, in the context of police practices conducted from entering the Unit device Pacifying Police (UPP). The research was based on analyzes developed from observations made with the radio productions promoted by local residents by Radio Santa Marta, 103.3 FM. Based on Michel Foucault, this research led to reflection on the modes of resistance arising not only from regular radio schedules, but also by collective actions (forums, debates in the open, manifest, festivities). Responsible for these actions to tackle the public safety program with respect to the practices of combating crime, as well as to government management regimes for the regulation of practices and discourses in the slum. Over approximately three (3) years of research, extensive monitoring was conducted among the different productions of Radio Santa Marta, which was possible using the journaling feature field. Subsequently, interviews were conducted individually with the participants of the radio, including those responsible for programming and its listeners, accounting for a total of 10 (ten). From the above method, we sought to investigate the tensions involving management modes of life within the favela based on discursive productions authorized by radio device.
