Haitian National Police
Also called PNH.
State military
Who they are
The Haitian National Police are the country’s main security force. They are a police service fighting gangs in Port-au-Prince.
Goals
Their claim: The government says the police are the force holding the capital against the gangs.
Independent assessment: Haiti’s security force is a police service, not an army. The type on this page is the closest of the three.
Capabilities
- Patrol police. The ordinary force
- Armored vehicles. A small number, some donated
- A small new military. Separate from the police. No confirmed headcount is on this card.
Estimated personnel
No reliable public estimate
Backers
Independent assessment: A UN-backed mission has deployed beside the police. Those officers are not part of the police headcount.

Viv Ansanm
Also called Viv Ansanm coalition.
Non-state armed group
Who they are
Viv Ansanm is a coalition of gangs in Port-au-Prince. Membership changes, and the name covers more than one crew.
Goals
Their claim: Gang spokesmen say the coalition is a political force against a failed government.
Independent assessment: Viv Ansanm is a shifting coalition of Port-au-Prince gangs, including groups once called G9 and G-Pèp. The UN sanctions panel writes about them. Source: UN Panel of Experts on Haiti
Capabilities
- Small arms. Rifles are the usual weapon
- Control of neighborhoods. Gangs hold territory and roads in the capital
- Kidnapping. A main way they raise money
Estimated personnel
No reliable public estimate
Backers
Independent assessment: The UN panel has described political protection for some gangs. No single foreign army is their patron.
