There are two principal police forces in Chile, both of which are part of the national government. Chile's police forces have a solid reputation for incorruptibility and service to foreigners.
The Carabineros de Chile is the uniformed police force. There is a comisaría (police station) in almost every borough in Santiago. Call the Carabineros in case of emergencies, traffic accidents, assaults, disorderly conduct or petty theft. If your documents are stolen, notify the nearest comisaría with a list of the items stolen.
The Policía de Investigaciones (Investigations Police) handle more complex crimes like house burglary, homicide, auto theft and drug-related crimes.
