Viewing cable 09QUITO1108, QUARTERS LEASE FOR POLICE

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #09QUITO1108.

SENSITIVE 
SIPDIS 
FOR INL/RM (TIM BARRY, TIM HENDERSON) 
 
E.O. 12958: N/A 
TAGS: SNAR
SUBJECT: QUARTERS LEASE FOR POLICE 
 
REFTELS: A)Quito 880, B)State 96667 
 
 
 
1. (SBU) NAS requests authorization to sign a two-year lease for 
administrative facilities for a specialized police intelligence 
unit of the Ecuadorian National Police that cooperates with 
DHS/ICE.  The police unit conducts operations against money 
laundering, trafficking in persons, human smuggling and other 
transnational criminal organizations.  The property is a 500-sq 
meter residential house located at Urbanizacion Mexterior, Calle 
Jose Alas 127 y Tomas Charipove in Quito, Ecuador.  The cost is USD 
1,100.00 per month and the lease term would be for two years.  This 
will be a new lease.  The lease period is from December 1, 2009 to 
November 30, 2011. 
 
 
 
2. (SBU) Justification:  Due to the nature of its activities, this 
police unit requires an anonymous and secure location separate from 
regular police facilities, which will permit operation of 
controlled sensitive operations.  The Ecuadorian National Police do 
not have a suitable facility available for this police unit. 
 
 
 
3. (SBU) This lease replaces the lease requested in Reftel A and 
approved by INL in Reftel B.  The lease for the previous location 
was not signed, so this lease request is a replacement, rather than 
an additional location.
