This program aims to strengthen the operational capabilities of the Haitian National Police (PNH) and the Haitian Armed Forces (FAD'H). The Prime Minister made this announcement during his speech before the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, September 25 in New York.

The program, named P4000, plans to train 4,000 police officers per year. More than 2,000 agents have already been trained and a new cohort is set to graduate from the Police Academy next November.

The Minister of Defense, Mario Andresol, also indicated that the government is working on a project to integrate an additional 12,000 police officers and increase the FAD'H ranks by 15,000 additional soldiers during the same period.

"Strengthening the PNH's manpower is a priority," emphasized Mario Andresol, adding that the government intends "to anchor its actions in a perspective of consolidating national security institutions."

Operational Context

In Gressier, where law enforcement recently carried out operations against armed gangs, the security situation raises questions. While the mandate of the Gang Repression Force (FRG) has been renewed until March 31, 2027 by the UN Security Council, field operations seem to have paused.

"The protection of populations and the restoration of public institutions depend largely on the sustainable control of territories," said a resident contacted by Rezo Nòdwès. "As long as the police does not secure the conquered areas, the risk of armed groups returning persists."
