HAITI-SECURITY- Security environment has improved says Prime Minister
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, CMC - Haitian authorities are reporting that security across the country has improved in recent years due to efforts made to reinforce, train and equip the more than 10,000 officers who make up the Haitian National Police (HNP).
"The country is much safer today even though we continue to face significant challenges in terms of funding we need to provide more adequate means to the police," said Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe in an interview with the Haitian Caribbean News Network (HCNN), on Wednesday.
"It is obvious that we have more security today. For instance, we registered only 2 kidnappings for the month of July. Compared to what was happening before, this is a record," Lamothe explained. "But we want zero kidnapping and we want to make sure all criminals are where they belong, which is jail," he said.
