Haiti Security Environment – Public Order

This report is a summary of the security situation from Feb.14 to March 1,  2015.

The security situation throughout Port-au-Prince is relatively stable and manageable but has the potential to deteriorate at any given time. Any deterioration of the situation is most likely to be caused by:

  • Increased serious criminal activity;
  • The public response to socio-economic conditions, and
  • Politically motivated disturbances.

There are however, ongoing serious indirect threats generated by the high levels of politico-social related violence in  areas of critical lawlessness, rife with criminality and violence where the general population might be exposed to intimidation and are at risks from indirect small arms fire.

The situation must be continually monitored as a small shifts in power dynamics may have a significant impact on the security and safety of the people.
