Latin American Police & Security: Regional Overview

Instead of resisting globalization, terrorist groups are harnessing its power.

Even the poorest terrorist organization in Latin America are trying to get international attention, or sympathetic support, by attacking government buildings and western agencies.

Research into international terrorism conducted by the U.S. State Department early this year, suggests that Latin America is witnessing the highest number of terrorist attacks in the world at present.

As terrorist groups engage in the narcotics trade, human trafficking, illicit weapon transfers, kidnapping, extortion and credit card fraud, they will have a lesser need to depend on foreign states for sponsors or political support.

While most groups in Latin America improvise, a few groups are innovative, and it is these groups that set the regional trends.

They experiment and adopt modern dual technologies such as GPS, mobile phones and pagers to improve their performance.

Recently, terrorist and criminal groups have purchased stealth speed-boats, communication gear and satellite antennas from Asia and Europe.

Since improvised weapons tend to be less reliable than commercially manufactured standard weapons, terrorist and organized criminal groups tend to replace them with the latest commercially manufactured weapons in the market, at the earliest opportunity.

On a global scale, but particularly in Latin America, overall national and international terrorist attacks on business and government installations have increased.

What are the major challenges that may threaten the security of some Latin American states?

Probably terrorist groups that are highly organized and well-armed criminal organizations that will attack key buildings in the heart of certain important cities.

Review of current military deployments strongly suggests that the tactical and special operations skills, devised and perfected by law enforcement officers, will be the skills in the greatest demand by the Latin American Police and Security Forces in the very near future.
