In addition the Minister indicates that the CSPN "asked the police to remain on high alert to ensure and maintain the security of the population in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the Republic."

The Minister invites the population to "collaborate with the police to find and punish all perpetrators and accomplices of acts of banditry likely to disturb the public peace."

It also asks the population to "keep calm and serenity and continue to trust the National Police of Haiti that will not fail to fulfill its mission in all circumstances."
