He explained that to confront and dismantle gangs "[...] Right now, we have hundreds of police officers in training [...] Today, we are building a robust police force with great logistical capabilities, police officers well trained in the circumstances to respond to security challenges."
According to Elbé, the police institution is in the midst of a transformation process, emphasizing "This transformation is focused on the provision of equipment, continuing training for specialized units, respect for human rights, among others [...] We ask the population to be a little patient because the transformation will take a little time. But we see that we have a police force that is being strengthened, gradually increasing in terms of operational capacity, a police force capable of fighting gangs which is only waiting for materials ordered by the Haitian State to prevent bandits from committing crimes in areas controlled by the Haitian state.
