THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR PUBLIC SECURITY, DEPLORES THE SITUATION
(Haiti Libre) -
At the meeting of the Superior Council of the National Police (CSPN), held last Saturday, President Michel Martelly gave firm instructions to all security forces to fight against insecurity.
Following this meeting, Aramick Louis, Secretary of State for Public Security, deplored the situation of insecurity in Haiti.
"... [...] the Government, the public force and also all the citizens deplore the situation of insecurity in the country. For this reason, a set of measures have been taken both at the government level, and by the police, to reassure the public. We are very concerned with what happens.
The measures that will be taken are aimed to protect the population and ensure that the criminal acts do not continue, as they currently are. At the level of the police, there is a better visibility. There will be a greater visibility. There will also be a work of strengthening of controls that work against kidnapping in the country. All these decisions came out of the meeting of the Superior Council of the National Police (CSPN), which was held on Saturday. A meeting during which the President of the Republic had taken part and he gave very firm instructions to all the forces, so that we act with the greatest vigor, that we strengthen the intelligence service and also our operations, to put an end to this situation.
At the same time, we call for citizen participation. We believe that lasting results cannot be achieved without a real participation of the citizens. [...] In the past, in our country, there was a solidarity, a citizen vigilance... today we have an obligation because of a series of criminal acts [...] I do not want to single out Haiti. I do not want that everyone thinks that it is only in Haiti that there is insecurity. Today, criminality is transnational. That is why everyone should help the public forces, to enable us to provide the appropriate responses to these questions..."
