P-au-P, July 1, 2024 (AlterPresse) — Changes in the two provincial police stations in the Western Department, which includes the metropolitan area of the capital Port-au-Prince, come on the heels of an increase in terrorist activity by armed gangs in Grecier (about 30 km south of Port-au-Prince), AlterPresse reports.
Following the instructions of the new interim director of the Haitian National Police (Pnh), Rameau Normil, Inspector General Smith Péyo took on Saturday, June 29, 2024, the installation of the new Director of Department West-1 (Ddo1), Department Commissioner Julbert Conseillant, and the new Director of Department West-2 (Ddo2), Department Commissioner Xavier Séide.
Conceyant and Sede replace departmental commissioner Yvonne Cantave and chief commissioner Roger Lamartinière, respectively, who have both moved to the office of the interim director-general of the National Party.
On the other hand, the new commander of the Haitian National Police Intervention Group (Gipnh/Swat), Divisional Commissioner Ronald Michel, took office on July 1. He replaced Chief Commissioner Richardson Mersan, who himself moved to the Central Administrative Police (Dcpa).

On Sunday, June 30, 2024, the day after these changes were officially announced, the Gracier Police Station was once again attacked by armed bandits.
According to preliminary information, several unarmed residents of Gracier were shot and killed in their homes by armed assailants.
Early on Monday, July 1, 2024, gang terror occurred in Gressier, when a public transport driver serving the Jacmel/Port-au-Prince route was shot dead by armed bandits, who then burned his body.
In an audio message transmitted to the AlterPresse/AlterRadio platform, the Haitian National Police Union (Synapoha) welcomed the decision of the Haitian National Police General Directorate to appoint two new officers as directors of the Western Police.
The regulations come days after Rameau Nomire took office as head of the police agency and as Kenyan police are in Haiti helping the Haitian National Police (Pnh) fight armed gangs.
We don’t know what negative psychological impact Gracier’s new attack will have on police and the public. (emb gp 2024-04-07 11:35)
