Is he feared? Or could he, by his mere presence, disrupt the order of things set in a secret agenda, executed in the shadows by armed groups…?
The question deserves to be asked, because beyond the rumors, the new head of the Haitian National Police presents a rare profile: that of a man forged in action, seasoned by years of combat in the service of public security.
His name is associated with high-risk interventions and operations that have marked the recent history of the Haitian National Police. Since his time at the head of the Research and Intervention Brigade (BRI), he distinguished himself during “Baghdad” operations alongside the late Carlo Lochard, then Departmental Director of the West, not to mention coordination with CIMO units.
Subsequently, his leadership was affirmed at the DDO, then through the establishment of the BOID, an elite unit designed to respond quickly and effectively to urban threats. His frontline role, particularly in defending the honor and symbol of the National Palace as Coordinator, demonstrates unwavering commitment and the expertise of a seasoned combatant. It is time to put an end to this hypocrisy, to this unjustified hatred towards those who offer themselves as a sacrifice to provide the Haitian people with a modicum of security. It's an old habit! We criticize, we marginalize, and sometimes we betray those who fight for us.
We did it with our diaspora: their help is welcome, but they are often denied a place among the decision-makers and builders of the future. Today, we seem to want to reproduce this pattern with one of our own, an officer who has dedicated his life to the homeland and the police institution. No one preaches or tolerates impunity. What matters are the facts. And the facts are clear. This man has, for years, led complex operations, taken incredible risks, and achieved tangible results in the fight against crime.
Is it necessary to recall that within the high command of the Haitian National Police, few can boast such a field record? A Question for the Immediate Future The question is simple, but weighty: given the gravity of the hour, is this man among those who can truly be relied upon? And if so, why seek to sideline or discredit him, when the country is sinking into an unprecedented security crisis? History will judge. But for now, the Haitian people need men of action, not scapegoats. Unknown author
