Spanish term or phrase: CD Maipú, CD Quilicura

Hello,

I am translating a Powerpoint presentation about new measures taken by a company, and as it is a Chilean branch, it mentions two regions: CD Maipú and CD Quilicura. I can't get the meaning of "CD". A Chilean colleague may be able to clarify this for me?

Thanks a lot and regards,

María

English translation:Cuadrante o sucursal

Explanation:
Apertura cuentas vista Bank Boston para todo el personal (los empleados de terceros percibían su salario en efectivo, estando expuestos a robos en vía publica. Asimismo, se elimina factor de riesgo del CD Quilicura)

Puede ser el cuadrante Quilicura. Las unidades policiales son distribuidas por cuadrante para de esa forma administrar bien quien vigila cada zona y por ende frustrar los intentos de robo.

En caso que sea algo pertinente sólo al bank boston, puede referirse a sucursal.

circunscripción, distrito

Explanation:
I'm not certain, but it might be this. Each region in Chile is divided into circunscripciones y distritos, and Maipu is in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago, Circunscripción VII (Santiago Poniente) and Distrito 20.
