    SUBJECT: COLOMBIA-MEXICO COUNTER-NARCOTICS AND JUSTICE COOPERATION

    ¶1. (SBU) Summary: The Colombian National Police (CNP) reported that
    it conducted training for 5,747 Mexican police members in 2009; 98%
    of which took place in Mexico.  According to the CNP, its judicial
    courses at the Center of Criminal Investigation and Accusatory
    Penal System in Mexico City accounted for roughly half of the 5,747
    Mexican police trained in 2009.  The CNP Anti-narcotics Directorate
    (DIRAN) trained a total of 19 Mexican police students in the
    bi-annual, 18 week Jungla Commando International Course at the CNP
    National Training Center in Colombia from 2007-2009.  United States
    Department of Justice (DOJ) has sent Assistant United States
    Attorneys and Colombian prosecutors to Mexico for federal police
    judicial training over the last two years, along with coordinating
    the participation of Mexican prosecutors and investigators in
    training courses in Colombia.  The Mexican Army plans to
    participate in rotary wing aviation training in Colombia in March.
    Mexican Embassy officials here in Bogota report that they would
    like to expand such training in a variety of areas.  Colombia has
    appropriate facilities and capacity to do more training, given
    adequate resources.  Post believes Colombia has relevant experience
    to offer Mexico. End summary.

    Large-scale, ongoing Colombian training programs for Mexico

    --------------------------------------------- ---------------

    ¶2. (SBU) The Colombian National Police (CNP) provided
    counternarcotics and criminal investigative training to Mexico in
    2009 as part of the Mexican Secretariat of Public Security (SSP)
    police reform initiative, according to contacts in the Mexican
    Embassy in Bogota.  The CNP reported that it conducted training for
    5,747 Mexican police members in 2009; 98% of which took place in
    Mexico.  Most of this training focused on police investigation and
    intelligence.  The bulk of CNP training was delivered to Mexican
    federal police units.  The Mexican state police of Jalisco,
    Chihuahua, and Guanajuato also hosted Colombian police trainers
    during 2009.

    ¶3. (SBU) The CNP-led judicial courses at the Center of Criminal
    Investigation and Accusatory Penal System in Mexico City accounted
    for roughly 50% of those 5,747 Mexican police trained in 2009,
    according to the CNP.  Approximately 125 CNP instructors have
    contributed over the last year to an ongoing international effort
    (United States, Canada, Colombia, Spain, and the Czech Republic) to
    train 10,000 Mexican Federal Police recruits in investigation and
    intelligence at the police academy in San Luis de Potosi, according
    to Mexican Embassy contacts. Embassy DOJ officers report that
    Colombian prosecutors working alongside U.S. prosecutors also
    contributed to the police training in Mexico, which runs from
    January 2009 to March 2010. In addition, Colombian police trainers
    taught intelligence and investigation courses to Mexican Federal
    Police units, accounting for approximately 28% of the 2009 total.
    The remaining 22% of those Mexican police trained by the CNP last
    year participated in smaller courses on intelligence,
    investigation, anti-terrorism, anti-narcotics, and community
    policing.  Approximately 2% of Mexicans trained by the CNP in 2009
    were trained in Colombia.

    ¶4. (SBU) The CNP Anti-narcotics Directorate (DIRAN) trained a total
    of 19 Mexican police students in the bi-annual, 18 week Jungla
    Commando International Course at the CNP National Training Center
    in Pijaos from 2007-2009.  A DIRAN "Jungla" nine-man Mobile
    Training Team delivered a sixty-day anti-narcotics training program
    to the Jalisco State Police in Mexico from September 2 to November
    2, 2009; the same Jungla program took place in Jalisco in 2008.  In
    early 2009, CNP anti-kidnapping units trained Chihuahua State
    Police in anti-kidnapping and investigative techniques in Ciudad
    Juarez.  Colombian police trained three Mexican airport police in
    Bogota from January 12 to 19 in a course aimed to improve drug
    detection in airports.

    Colombia-Mexico Police Training Plans for 2010

    --------------------------------------------- -

    ¶5. (SBU) According to the Mexican Embassy in Bogota, the Mexican
    government hopes to expand the ongoing Colombia-Mexico training
    relationship by bringing more Mexican security forces to Colombia
    for training in the coming years.  Mexico intends to send at least
    four candidates to each Jungla Commando International course for
    the foreseeable future.  Embassy contacts reported Mexico's
    intention to send more federal police in 2010 to the DIRAN Combat
    Medic Course, Designated Marksman Course, Explosives and
    Demolitions Course, and Close Quarters Combat Course, all of which
    are taught at the CNP National Training Center.

    ¶6. (SBU) The Mexican SSP federal police attach???? to Colombia
    accompanied NAS Bogota in touring the CNP training center at Pijaos
    on January 29 to assess the center's training capacity.  The
    Mexican attach???? related that the GOM is interested in sending
    hundreds of federal police units to the CNP training center for
    training from 2010 and 2011, and he requested INL assistance to
    facilitate logistics involved with these potentially expanded
    programs.

    Future Areas of Potential Police Cooperation

    --------------------------------------------

    ¶7. (SBU) INL may be able to facilitate the logistics of expanded
    Mexican police participation at the CNP training center in Pijaos.
    This facility has the capacity to house and train hundreds of
    Mexican police, as eight newly-constructed barracks have recently
    opened.  Current courses could potentially be adjusted by CNP
    trainers to provide Mexican trainees with specific training needs,
    with potential assistance by the U.S. Special Forces team assigned
    to the school.  Possible options include a "Mexico Basic Course,"
    along with expanded, specialty courses such as the Explorer Course,
    Close Quarters Combat, Designated Marksman, and Combat Medic
    courses.  The CNP training center could likely absorb over 100
    Mexicans year-round without negatively impacting the training
    rhythm.

    ¶8. (SBU) If INL and NAS Mexico believe it worthwhile, NAS Bogota
    would make PSC Advisors available to conduct short TDYs to Mexico
    to assist in establishing police training programs and support
    packages, conducting assessments of police needs in specific areas,
    and helping implement specific programs.  NAS Bogota stands ready
    to assist with training proposals/ideas, program substance and
    launch recommendations, and welcomes discussions on how to further
    utilize Colombia's counter-narcotic capabilities to assist Mexican
    efforts with Merida Initiative funds.

    Colombia-Mexico Maritime Interdiction Training

    --------------------------------------------- -

    ¶9. (SBU) The Colombian Coast Guard has demonstrated regional
    leadership with its incipient Regional Maritime Interdiction
    Training Program in Cartagena, and Mexican maritime security
    personnel have participated in the initial training courses.  The
    Colombian Coast Guard, with NAS support, is planning to
    significantly enhance regional training in 2010 and 2011,
    delivering training courses in Colombia to improve the capacity of
    regional partners in detection and interdiction of self-propelled
    semisubmersibles (SPSS) and surface boats, along with judicial
    training in crime scene management and evidence collection.

    ¶10. (SBU) The Mexican Navy (MEXNAV) has participated recently in
    classes held at the USG International Coast Guard School, which is
    supported by Embassy Bogota's NAS and the Military Group. MEXNAV
    has participated in and hosted multilateral meetings sponsored by
    the U.S. Coast Guard and COLNAV on increasing cooperation in
    boarding illegal vessels at sea.  MEXNAV also participated in the
    first joint COLNAV/SOUTHCOM-sponsored Maritime Counter Drug

    Symposium of the Americas in November 2008, along with follow-on
    technical meetings through March 2009.  MEXNAV has committed to
    support and participate in the agreed upon Maritime Counter Drug
    Analysis Center (supported by MILGRP) and will participate in the
    second Maritime Counter Drug Symposium of the Americas scheduled to
    take place in the Dominican Republic in March.

    ¶11. (SBU) COLNAV and MEXNAV will very soon exchange naval
    intelligence attach????s to work in each others' intelligence
    headquarters, according to the US Navy Mission in Bogota.  In
    addition, our Navy Mission reports that the COLNAV has agreed to
    help MEXNAV train riverine forces in the near future. (Note: On
    another military cooperation front, the Mexican Army is scheduled
    to participate in the initial Rotary Wing Training Course in
    Melgar, Colombia in March.  This rotary wing training is part of an
    estimated USD 25 million capacity-building program designed to last
    several years. End note.)

    United States-Colombia-Mexico Justice Training

    --------------------------------------------- -

    ¶12. (SBU) The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) coordinated
    participation of Colombian prosecutors, primarily in training of
    Mexico's SSP investigators on oral trial techniques and process,
    from August-November 2009.  Twelve prosecutors taught side-by-side
    with Assistant U.S. Attorneys in seven different sessions.  DOJ
    also involved a Colombian prosecutor in the first of several
    planned courses for training Mexican prosecutors.  DOJ is currently
    developing training programs for Mexican prosecutors, as well as
    investigators with PGR and INACIPE using the experience, materials,
    curriculum and trainers from the Colombia program.  DOJ is planning
    for extensive training of Mexican prosecutors through 2010, with
    support and learning experience gained from the Colombia program.
    The Colombian Prosecutor General's Office signed an agreement with
    the Mexican Attorney General's Office to assist with this training.
    DOJ is working closely with both sides to facilitate training
    possibilities and maximize the important connection among
    U.S.-Colombian-Mexican law enforcement concerns.

    ¶13. (SBU) DOJ will be using materials, curriculum and trainers
    involved in Colombian investigator training to develop and
    implement training for Mexican investigators and forensic experts
    in areas such as crime scene management, evidence, report writing,
    interaction with prosecutors, and testimony in court proceedings.

    Areas of Potential Judicial Cooperation

    ---------------------------------------

    ¶14. (SBU) In 2010, DOJ anticipates utilizing Colombian forensic
    scientists, protection personnel, investigators, and victim
    assistance personnel in programs involving forensic development,
    witness protection, police investigator training, and victim
    assistance.  This plan would likely entail bringing Mexican
    officials to Colombia for training, observation, and program
    discussions, as well as facilitating Colombian and US instructors
    familiar with the Colombia program providing training and program
    advice in Mexico.  DOJ will also be developing an exchange program
    and training for Mexican judges similar to those for prosecutors.

    ¶15. (SBU) NAS Bogota and/or DOJ could facilitate the logistics of
    sending Mexican judicial police to Colombia for crime scene
    management training.  Five to ten Mexican judicial police could
    participate in iterations of CNP "judicial first responder
    training," which is being offered in strategic areas throughout
    Colombia in coordination with Embassy agencies, with an eye toward
    gauging GOM interest in developing a similar field course for
    Mexican public security units.  According to CNP judicial contacts,
    this training has improved local police forces' crime-scene
    management skills, facilitated the work of prosecutors, and boosted

    certain districts' prosecution of criminals.
