The impending batch of Community Police Officers, mainly sourced from the 23rd Promotion of the Haitian National Police, await graduation and the call of duty at the end of June. Set to serve in the Delmas region of Port-au-Prince, the members of the special community unit will be the link between police and civilians and will hopefully bring about a change towards trust between the community and the PNH. Recruited in 2012, the batch of 40, whittled down from 150, has undergone rigorous physiological and intellectual testing to qualify.
