The Directorate of Intelligence and Prevention Services (Spanish: Dirección de los Servicios de Inteligencia y Prevención, DISIP) was an intelligence and counter-intelligence agency inside and outside of Venezuela between 1969 and 2009, when the SEBIN was created by former President Hugo Chávez. DISIP was established in March 1969 by then-president Rafael Caldera, replacing the Directorate General of Police (DIGEPOL).
