Haiti - France : Donation of 4 armored intervention vehicles 08/12/2024 09:06:43
In his speech, the Ambassador of France declared : "[...] I would first like to have a word for the police officers of the Haitian National Police and a thought for those of you who have been injured or killed in recent weeks. Despite difficult conditions, you are engaged every day in intense battles against lawless criminal gangs who commit atrocious atrocities against the most deprived in Haitian society. In the face of these criminals, you are the defenders of order and law and the ramparts of the Republic of Haiti. Your sense of sacrifice and your self-denial oblige us. Know that France will always be at your side in this fight. France is engaged in strong security cooperation with the Haitian authorities, as part of the agreement of April 3, 2024. This Franco-Haitian cooperation is carried out as closely as possible to the needs of the police officers [...] We implement training in the field, with high-level experts from France, regardless of the security conditions in the country; In 2024, these training courses engaged 11 experts from the French national police on a mission in Port-au-Prince for the benefit of specialized units of the PNH, such as SWAT, UTAG or BRI. In total, 360 PNH trainees were able to follow these training courses which cover a wide range of fields : operational intelligence, surveillance techniques, drone piloting, precision shooting, operational shooting. These are training courses that make an immediate difference on an operational level. [...] Support in materials and equipment: A budget of 1 million euros was allocated in 2023 for the purchase of numerous protective equipment (bulletproof vests, helmets, etc.), as well as several vehicles. In 2024, another budget of 1 million euros was used to purchase the four armored intervention vehicles that we are officially handing over to you today;  Purchase of 4 high-capacity drones dedicated to operational field units; Purchase of an unmarked vehicle equipped with equipment dedicated to surveillance for the judicial police; Creation of a covered space dedicated to training the BRI. Operational cooperation also remains a priority for the French Embassy in Haiti. Several projects are currently being developed, in conjunction with our international partners and the OAS. These projects focus in particular on the fight against narcotics and weapons and on the training and development of specialized units of the PNH (SWAT, Temporary Unit Temporary Anti-Gang Unit (UTAG), Research and Intervention Brigade (BRI), but also intervention brigades in police stations. [...] We are at your side in your action for the benefit of the population who legitimately aspire to security. [...] You can relies on France to support you in this fight." HL/ HaitiLibre
