The Haitian National Police (PNH; French: Police Nationale d'Haïti, lit. 'National Police of Haiti') is the law enforcement and de facto police force of Haiti. It was created in 1995 to bring public security under civilian control as mandated in Haiti's constitution.[1] As of 2023, the force has 9,000 active duty officers.[2]
The police force is divided into different divisions to tackle the many problems facing Haiti. Many of these divisions are specialized to address particular chronic crimes that affect the nation, including kidnapping, drugs and gangs. The force also has a Coast Guard and paramilitary units. The United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti has implemented a series of plans to increase the size of the police force to 14,000.[when?]
