The Director General of the Haitian National Police, Godson Aurélus, commended the Government on its continued support of the PNH. He stated that the stability of the country in regards to safety had not been so stable over the last twenty years and attributed it to the patronage of the Government.

Speaking to the police on behalf of the Government, Prime Minister Lamothe assured the force that the support would continue, bringing with him the regard of the President who spoke of the great feat undertaken by the highly trained and well equipped unit to fight the country's crime, instill and maintain peace in the Haitian community.

As such, morale is key and the efforts of Prime Minister Lamothe are an investment in keeping the rate of violent crimes, including kidnappings, down.
