The Police High Command has completed training of the first batch of Haitian police officers.
The Jamaica Constabulary Force has been tasked to equip its Haitian counterparts with the knowledge necessary to handle the security issues plaguing the French speaking nation.
Police Commissioner Major General Antony Anderson says the initiative provides the opportunity to share the knowledge and experience gained over many years of tackling difficult circumstances.
"I think we are on the second iteration now, which is important that we actually got something going, something off the ground to meet the mandate given to us by the prime minister to assist where we can - and we are already doing that," he said.
While Haiti has suffered from gang violence for decades, the current wave of brutality escalated after the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.
Gangs have taken control of large parts of the country, waging terror on residents and killing hundreds.
