Departure

Three weeks have past since the training began. All the police intervention tools and policies were reviewed to ensure all members of the contingent, which is made from different police forces, are on the same page. Then, we had a huge amount of information provided to us by people who actually been recently to Haiti themselves to get the most accurate picture possible of the situation there. Sunday 19th in the morning was the farewell to the family, a quick sleep in Montreal airport and departure the next day at 10:30am. We arrived in PAP (Port-Au-Prince) at approximately 3:00pm and were nicely greeted by members of the previous contingent.
