Security : Prime Minister Fils-Aimé strengthens his support for the PNH and SWAT

In a decisive move to address Haiti’s ongoing security challenges, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé convened a high-level meeting on December 29, 2025, with key law enforcement leadership. Serving simultaneously as President of the Superior Council of the National Police (CSPN), the Prime Minister engaged directly with Acting Director General of the Haitian National Police (PNH) Vladimir Paraison and members of specialized units including SWAT teams.

The strategic session focused on implementing tangible solutions to enhance operational capabilities against armed criminal groups. The dialogue identified critical logistical requirements for field officers while establishing immediate measures to strengthen the PNH’s effectiveness in combat operations.

Substantial progress was achieved in three fundamental areas affecting police welfare. Risk compensation packages will be augmented for officers facing heightened danger, while medical coverage expands through both domestic enhancements and international partnerships with Cuba. Additionally, a dedicated housing support program will be implemented specifically for PNH personnel.

The Prime Minister paid solemn tribute to officers who sacrificed their lives in service, observing a minute of silence while praising the courage of those maintaining security during the holiday period. Fils-Aimé emphasized that “the restoration of security is the essential condition for a return to democracy and the rule of law,” making an impassioned appeal for national unity against armed factions.

The government reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to elite police units, positioning these measures as crucial steps toward reestablishing constitutional order and public safety across the nation.
