The Counter-Terrorist Directorate (Spanish: Dirección contra el terrorismo, known as DIRCOTE) is the counterterrorism branch of the National Police of Peru (PNP) that is responsible for Peru's tactical counterterrorism law enforcement.[2]

The Special Intelligence Group (GEIN), a former unit of DIRCOTE, is known for having carried out the capture of the Shining Path leader Abimael Guzmán on September 12, 1992.[3] For this and other achievements, the group's former members were declared "Heroes of Democracy" by Peru's Congress in 2017.[4]
