Demand Reduction Services Funded simultaneous translation services for the GOB to host OAS/CICAD to host the Working Group and Conference on updating the Western Hemisphere Policy Against Drugs. We provided a keynote speaker and travel of community coalition members for the Tough Love International Conference and training for Brazilian anti-drug community coalitions. We also provided travel for Brazilian officials to attend the National Drug Court Professionals Conference in California and CADCA Community Coalition training in Kentucky. ¶C. Other Professional Services We funded various training, training-related travel, and translation services to Brazilian Federal Police and other host-country partners under all seven programs designated in our current LOA. PROGRAM IMPACT ¶A. Communication Equipment - 2009 was the first full year of implementation of the programs in the bilateral agreement on Narcotics Control & Law Enforcement. Commodities donated continue to enhance the intelligence collection capacities of the SIUs, as well as expansion of the bases to other important areas in Brazil. Specialized narcotics and explosive detection equipment was purchased and is in the process of being imported into Brazil for the Airport Interdiction Program. Twelve dogs were procured to boost the dog population of the Canine Program for drug detection, some of which were trained for the first time for explosive detection. The Money Laundering Program was enhanced through equipment purchases and coordinated cooperation between Brazil's enforcement entity and their U.S. counterparts, including a technical visit to FinCen. Equipment purchases and planned training is in progress under the Urban Crime Control Program for the National Rapid Response Force, which falls under the National Public Security Secretariat. U.S. Prison Specialists conducted an assessment of Brazil's Federal Prison System and we have instituted a partnership to help improve the system. Drug Prevention programs have continued to improve with integration of the National Anti-Drug Secretariat, the National Public Security Secretariat, and several NGOs (non-governmental organizations). And finally, six training courses were carried out for police, including airport interdiction, cyber crime investigations, forensics handheld device recovery and narcotics enforcement. ¶B.

Aircraft-N/A ¶H. Vehicles-N/A PROBLEMS & CORRECTIVE ACTION PLANS (CAP's) ¶A. Unmonitored Resources - N/A. ¶B. Repair and Maintenance of Commodities - Maintenance and repair of donated information equipment purchased in the U.S. has always been a problem for our counterparts. Product warranties generally do not cover maintenance in Brazil, and the high cost of shipping makes repairs a very expense procedure. Furthermore, replacement parts for U.S. produced computers are not readily available in Brazil. The computers sold in Brazil are different models and do not have Portuguese as a language option. In an effort to continue buying U.S. models but address previous compatibility issues, we research to find U.S. equipment that can be bought with a Brazilian warranty and software in Portuguese. ¶C.
