Chilean national security and anti-crime operations

Overview

Chile has initiated a large-scale national security operation involving over 5,000 officers from the Carabineros and the PDI. This deployment aims to increase crime prevention and control within high-incidence areas.

The operation is a component of the Agenda Against Organized Crime and Terrorism (ACOT) introduced by President José Antonio Kast. The agenda encompasses roughly 30 measures, including increased police presence in the country's 50 most critical neighborhoods, enhanced border technology, and expanded detention protocols for illegal migrants. While the government intends to strengthen legal protections for police and combat terrorism, the plan has faced political criticism regarding its failure to address banking secrecy to combat the economic influence of organized crime.
