    SUBJECT: COSTA RICA FULLY SUPPORTS MERIDA INITIATIVE

    REF: 07 SAN JOSE 2074 AND PREVIOUS (NOTAL)

    ¶1. (U) Despite the extremely short notice, the GOCR sent top
    technical and law enforcement officials to El Salvador to
    detail their security requirements at the January 17-18
    SICA-sponsored Merida Initiative Validation Meeting.  The
    professional and business-like delegation, led by
    Vice-Minister of the Presidency for Security Issues, Jose
    Torres, expertly explained their primary security challenges
    to the U.S. interagency-led meeting.

    ¶2. (U) The GOCR delegation gave detailed presentations on the
    state of their coast guard, police equipment and
    communications, strength of the rule of law and corruption,
    border/port/aviation security issues, arms trafficking within
    Costa Rica, and criminal information databases.  VM Torres
    also explained in detail the serious security challenges
    facing Costa Rican law enforcement, including:

     -- The rise of organized crime (mostly drug-related);
     -- increased use of Costa Rica's territory and maritime
    routes for drug smuggling;
     -- sky-rocketing violent crime, with senior GOCR officials
    themselves being victims; and
     -- difficulties faced in border and port security issues.

    ¶3. (U) Closely echoing Post's security assessment in reftels,
    Coast Guard engineer Adrian Delgado accurately described the
    operational status of their fleet and validated their
    maritime security assistance needs.  Costa Rican Drug
    Institute (ICD) Director Mauricio Boraschi gave a detailed
    status of several security reform bills that were under
    review in the national legislature.  Judicial Police (OIJ)
    Criminal Investigation Chief Gustavo Mata-Vega and Fuerza
    Publica (FP) Subdirector Rigoberto Rodriguez listed police
    equipment and communications needs.  The GOCR delegation as a
    whole highlighted the need for better truck, vehicle, and
    container scanning capabilities at their various ports of
    entry.

    ¶4. (U) The GOCR delegation reported to us that they were
    impressed with and encouraged by the Merida Initiative
    proposal and indicated that, if approved, it would
    significantly upgrade Costa Rica's ability to combat
    narcotrafficking and contribute to regional security in
    Central America.

    ¶5. (U) GOCR participants:

     -- Vice-Minister Jose Torres
     -- Costa Rican Drug Institute (ONDCP equivalent) Director
    Mauricio Boraschi
     -- Costa Rican Coast Guard Engineer Adrian Delgado
     -- Criminal Investigation Chief for the Judicial Police
    Gustavo Mata-Vega
     -- Fuerza Publica (regular police) Subdirector Rigoberto
    Rodriguez

    ¶6. (SBU) COMMENT: The GOCR's security apparatus, as
    highlighted by their positive role in this conference, is
    under new management.  They are energetic, professional, and
    active participants in our joint CN efforts, and increasingly
    willing to support regional initiatives.  Since the Arias
    administration came to power in May 2006, the GOCR, with some
    USG assistance, has seized over 55 tons of cocaine, a record
    amount.  Now is the time to deepen our security relationship
    with Costa Rica, especially in the critical INL-supported
    portion of our CN program.  The Ticos are willing to play;
    some tangible USG assistance will strengthen our bilateral
    relationship, enhance regional security, and increase drug
    interdiction in this strategic crossroads of narcotrafficking.
    BRENNAN
