Abstract

The text analyses the main factors, both legal and institutional, that have enhanced the autonomy of Carabineros. The origin of the normative framework that regulates the armed institution will be examined, considering its historical evolution since the period of the Chilean civic-military dictatorship, and taking into account the constitutional, organic constitutional laws, legal and administrative regulations. Although the constitutional reforms of 2005 modified a large part of the political-institutional autonomy of the Carabineros, the paper concludes that the infra-constitutional regulation preserves important spheres of operational-functional autonomy of this branch of the Chilean police.
