The decision seeks to ensure the smooth running of the learning of more than 700 future officers who are currently undergoing intensive training at the site. This task – which will be carried out by the Multinational Security Support Mission and local police – has been given top priority status. Patrols will be on alert day and night.

The vigilance will ensure that the training center remains safe and that recruits can graduate and serve their communities, quoted the Haiti Libre digital daily.

A few days ago, a gang called Kraze Barye attacked the National Police Academy, an action that demonstrated the control exercised by criminal gangs in Port-au-Prince.

The confrontation was intense, but the criminals led by Vitelhomme Innocent, found it impossible to seize the building in the face of the resistance of the law enforcement officers.

The gang members have already attacked the port, schools, police stations, prisons, ministries, bank branches, community warehouses, the National Press, which made its first publication in 1804, and set fire to a 96,000 square meter warehouse in the free zone.

They also targeted private cars, a religious seminary, Haiti’s 180-year-old First Baptist Church, and more than a dozen pharmacies.
