The Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) delivered vital equipment October 28 - November 3 to support the Haitian National Police (HNP) and Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti. Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) arrived in Haiti to double the MSS fleet and enhance mobility, along with other assistance. INL has also contributed other law enforcement tools to aid the MSS forces working in coordination with the HNP to combat deadly Haitian gangs.
This assistance underscores our ongoing commitment to addressing the urgent security and humanitarian needs in Haiti. A well-equipped MSS is critical for bolstering the anti-gang efforts of the HNP. The United States remains committed to supporting the Haitian people in achieving stability that can bring about a Haitian-led political solution through free and fair elections.
