Carlos Ibanez del Campo

Ibanez unified various police forces into the Carabineros de Chile, a national police force. This reform aimed to centralize law enforcement and maintain order.

Ibanez assumed power through a coup and ruled as a dictator until 1931. He suspended civil liberties, repressed opposition, and implemented public works projects. His regime was marked by authoritarianism and economic growth.

Ibanez was elected president again, this time as a populist. His second term was less authoritarian but faced economic challenges and inflation. He failed to implement major reforms.
