Municipal Commissioner Garry Desrosiers, New HNP Spokesperson, Reports on Operations

PORT-AU-PRINCE.— The Haitian National Police held a press conference this Thursday to announce the institution's latest decisions. Municipal Commissioner Garry Desrosiers has been reappointed spokesperson. In this capacity, he presided today, detailing the operations carried out across the territory between October 1 and November 6, 2025. During this period, 125 individuals were apprehended for various criminal acts, stated the institution's spokesperson, Municipal Commissioner Garry Desrosiers.

Among those arrested are individuals involved in cases of theft, rape, as well as other serious offenses related to organized crime. Exchanges of gunfire between law enforcement and members of armed gangs were also reported, with some suspects being fatally wounded during these operations.

The police also seized over a dozen firearms, several hundred rounds of ammunition, and nine vehicles used by criminals. The Central Directorate of Judicial Police (DCPJ), for its part, recovered 5.7 million gourdes in cash, in addition to a set of equipment belonging to a criminal network, including seven laptops, three electronic tablets, and six mobile phones.

The HNP report also indicates, during the period under review, seven cases of suicide, six cases of rape of minors, and four road accidents. These incidents, according to the police, demonstrate the persistence of multiple security and social challenges in the country.

Concurrently, in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area, particularly in Delmas, several cases of kidnapping have been reported. The HNP calls on the population to be vigilant and encourages closer collaboration with authorities to counter the resurgence of these acts.

Alongside the presentation of the report, the spokesperson also announced the delivery of a batch of equipment by the Embassy of Canada in Haiti. This donation aims to strengthen the operational capacity of the police and is part of a bilateral partnership supporting the country's public security efforts.

“These results reflect the HNP's determination to relentlessly pursue its mission of protecting and securing the population,” declared Commissioner Garry Desrosiers, the new spokesperson.
