¶B. Demand Reduction Services 
 
Funded simultaneous translation services for the GOB to host 
OAS/CICAD to host the Working Group and Conference on updating the 
Western Hemisphere Policy Against Drugs.  We provided a keynote 
speaker and travel of community coalition members for the Tough 
Love International Conference and training for Brazilian anti-drug 
community coalitions.  We also provided travel for Brazilian 
officials to attend the National Drug Court Professionals 
Conference in California and CADCA Community Coalition training in 
Kentucky. 
 
 
 
¶C. Other Professional Services 
 
We funded various training, training-related travel, and 
translation services to Brazilian Federal Police and other 
host-country partners under all seven programs designated in our 
current LOA. 
 
PROGRAM IMPACT 
 
¶A. Communication Equipment - 2009 was the first full year of 
implementation of the programs in the bilateral agreement on 
Narcotics Control & Law Enforcement.  Commodities donated continue 
to enhance the intelligence collection capacities of the SIUs, as 
well as expansion of the bases to other important areas in Brazil. 
Specialized narcotics and explosive detection equipment was 
purchased and is in the process of being imported into Brazil for 
the Airport Interdiction Program.  Twelve dogs were procured to 
boost the dog population of the Canine Program for drug detection, 
some of which were trained for the first time for explosive 
detection.  The Money Laundering Program was enhanced through 
equipment purchases and coordinated cooperation between Brazil's 
enforcement entity and their U.S. counterparts, including a 
technical visit to FinCen.   Equipment purchases and planned 
training is in progress under the Urban Crime Control Program for 
the National Rapid Response Force, which falls under the National 
Public Security Secretariat.  U.S. Prison Specialists conducted an 
assessment of Brazil's Federal Prison System and we have instituted 
a partnership to help improve the system.  Drug Prevention programs 
have continued to improve with integration of the National 
Anti-Drug Secretariat, the National Public Security Secretariat, 
and several NGOs (non-governmental organizations).  And finally, 
six training courses were carried out for police, including airport 
interdiction, cyber crime investigations, forensics handheld device 
recovery and narcotics enforcement.

¶B. Repair and Maintenance of Commodities - Maintenance and repair 
of donated information equipment purchased in the U.S. has always 
been a problem for our counterparts.  Product warranties generally 
do not cover maintenance in Brazil, and the high cost of shipping 
makes repairs a very expense procedure.  Furthermore, replacement 
parts for U.S. produced computers are not readily available in 
Brazil.  The computers sold in Brazil are different models and do 
not have Portuguese as a language option. In an effort to continue 
buying U.S. models but address previous compatibility issues, we 
research to find U.S. equipment that can be bought with a Brazilian 
warranty and software in Portuguese.
