Haiti’s National Police (PNH) has initiated a comprehensive internal consultation process to formulate its next strategic development blueprint for the 2026-2030 period. Under the leadership of Acting Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Paraison, the police force convened a special workshop this week engaging officers across all ranks and grades in critical dialogue.
The collaborative forum enables PNH personnel to actively contribute to institutional assessment by identifying organizational strengths and vulnerabilities. Participants are providing direct input regarding operational requirements, proposing innovative ideas, and helping establish priority reforms crucial for enhancing the police service’s performance metrics and overall effectiveness.
International partners demonstrated substantial support for this institutional modernization effort, with representatives from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP-Haiti) and the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) attending the workshop. The Secretary of State for Public Security also participated in the proceedings, underscoring governmental endorsement of the planning initiative.
This inclusive methodology represents a significant advancement toward constructing a more contemporary and capable National Police institution. The resulting strategic framework aims to equip Haiti’s primary law enforcement agency with the necessary tools and protocols to effectively confront both immediate and emerging public security challenges throughout the next five-year implementation phase.
