HOP aims to improve the security and social situation in Port-au-Prince through the development an
implementation of a community policing policy with the Haitian National Police (HNP). The community policing approach will contribute to moving past a system that relies heavily on punishment and force, which to date has proved ineffective, and will focus on collaborating with civil society and constructive problem-solving. Led by Global Affairs Canada (GAC), HOP has a budget of 20 million dollars (Canadian) and will provide comprehensive community policing training to 100 recruits and facilitate engaged dialogue between the police and the people of Port-au-Prince over two years.
