US EditionHaiti replaces police chief with former head of palace security
HAITI, AUG 9 – The Haiti government named Paraison to lead efforts against gangs that dominate several regions, aiming to enhance security and reduce violence nationwide.
- On Friday, Haiti's transitional authorities named Vladimir Paraison, the former national palace security chief, to lead the country's national police during a ceremony held at Villa d'Acceuil in Port-au-Prince.
- The appointment responded to urgent security needs amid over 1.3 million displaced Haitians and more than 3,100 conflict deaths this year.
- Paraison, previously in charge of national palace security, was appointed to replace Rameau Normil as national police chief after Normil's roughly year-long leadership experienced conflicts with various government groups.
- At his inauguration, Paraison vowed that the police force would remain vigilant and active in their efforts to dismantle gang control over large areas of the capital.
- This leadership change aims to revitalize Haiti's cash-strapped police as ongoing gang alliances, labeled terrorists by the U.S., continue to threaten security nationwide.
