¶1. An accounting of existing USG-supplied monitorable
support provided under the International Narcotics Control
Program as required by reftel is provided in paragraph 5.
¶2. Resources: In FY 2003 and FY 2004, Post did not receive
any INL funding. Post has utilized the available remaining
funds from FY 2002 as well as utilized PAS funding for INL
projects. The FY 2002 funds were obligated for use in the
following four areas: 1) support Chilean criminal justice
reform; 2) enhance the counter-narcotics capabilities of the
the Carabineros and Investigative Police (PICH); 3) enhance
the capabilities of Chile's newly-formed Financial
Intelligence Unit (FIU) and money laundering prosecutors; and
4) support drug demand reduction efforts in Chile. Primary
expenditures in the area of judicial reform included USD
13,500 for an intellectual property training seminar and USD
29,000 for a series of trainings for prosecutors and
defendants. Approximately USD 2,000 were allocated toward
drug interdiction equipment, complemented by a tactical
safety and survival school (USD 25,000) provided by Andean
Initiative Funds. These funds also purchased USD 30,500 in
equipment for law enforcement.
¶3. Resources Continued: The balance of DEA Andean Initiative
funds to support the Carabineros and Investigations Police
has been programmed for a follow-up tactical safety and
survival school program to occur in mid-2005. The final
remaining INL funds have been programmed for a money
laundering training seminar and a hostage negotiation
training to occur in April/May 2005. The equpiment listed in
paragraph 5 was purchased over recent years and supplied to
the following GOC agencies: Chilean Investigative Police
(PICH); Chilean Uniformed Police (Carabineros); Chilean
Customs Service; and the National Drug Control Council
(CONACE),which is the GOC equivalent to the Office of
National Drug Control Policy.
¶4. Procedures: Post relies on CONACE to supply the
information provided below. Each year CONACE compiles
inventory reports from the various law enforcement agencies
and forwards them to the Embassy. As was the case in last
year's report, items previously reported as being in poor
condition are generally not listed, the exception being those
that have been refurbished and are returned to service.
On-site verifications are infrequent, as the small size of
the
