Civilian-Led
We are a civilian-led organization, firmly rooted in the belief that community safety is best achieved through collaboration between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Our leadership team brings a unique civilian perspective to the table, ensuring that our initiatives prioritize the well-being and empowerment of local communities.
Through our holistic approach, we address not only the symptoms but also the root causes of crime. By supporting community programs and advocating for transparency and accountability within the HNP, we strive to build trust and foster cooperation between law enforcement agencies and the public.
While we work hand in hand with the Haitian National Police, our civilian-led ethos remains central to our mission. Together, we are dedicated to creating a safer Haiti where communities are empowered, human rights are protected, and justice is accessible to all.
