United States Support for Haitian National Police Strategic Priorities

The State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Director David Mosby met on Tuesday with the Director of the Haitian Police, Rameau Normil to discuss the Strategic Plan and the Strategic Priorities.  

They also discussed U.S. support for the HNP’s community police, counter-narcotics unit (BLTS), and border police (POLIFRONT).

The INL Director and Haiti Police Director agreed on the importance of strengthening the capacity of the office of the Inspectorate General to ensure police officers are held to the highest standard and the Central Administration Directorate to ensure proper management controls of Haiti Police resources.

Following their discussion, the Director General inspected equipment and materials INL is providing to the PNH. 

These items include protective equipment for police officers serving to ensure public order and citizen safety in the crowd control and anti-riot unit (CIMO), communications gear for the counter-narcotics unit (BLTS), and supplies for assisting the prison administration to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in Haiti’s prisons.
