Port-au-Prince, February 15, 2026.- The National Police of Haiti celebrated, on Saturday, February 14, the 30th anniversary of the Corps of Intervention and Maintenance of the Order (CIMO) during an official ceremony, organized at its base in Delmas 1, in the presence of Director General André Jonas Vladimir Paraison and members of the High Command, in a particularly demanding security context.
Placée sous le thème « Loyauté, résistance et fierté « , la célébration a donné lieu à des interventions officielles soulignant le rôle stratégique du CIMO dans la gestion des situations de troubles publics. Les responsables policiers ont insisté sur la contribution de l’unité dans la lutte contre le grand banditisme et dans les opérations de maintien de l’ordre, notamment lors de manifestations et d’épisodes de tensions civiles.
The ceremony was also marked by the presentation of honour and merit plates to several executives. The current Commander of CIMO, Divisional Commissioner Paul Ménard, is among the recipients, along with two former unit officials. In a symbolic approach aimed at strengthening ties with the surrounding community, children living near the base were decorated.
Created on 14 February 1996, CIMO remains the first specialized unit of the HNP dedicated to the maintenance and restoration of public order. Three decades after its founding, the unit continues to occupy a central position in the national security system, while the challenges of stability and security persist.
