STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

BACKGROUND

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is an instrumental leader in the development of policies and programs to combat international narcotics and crime. INL programs support two of the Department of

States' strategic goals: (1) to reduce the entry of illegal drugs into the United

States; and (2) to minimize the impact of international crime on the United States and its citizens. One of the many ways to effectively meet the listed goals is to collaborate with allied governments both directly and indirectly to promote the modernization of and support the enforcement operations of their foreign criminal justice systems and law enforcement agencies.

As intense and sustained gang attacks on Haitian citizens continue the Haitian

National Police (HNP) faces troubles with recruitment and security issues, the

Haitian National Police (HNP) work with the Gang Suppression Force (GSF) to conduct joint operations to combat gang violence and re-establish security in Haiti.

To continue counter-gang operations, GSF requires additional tear gas cannisters to disperse groups and safely conduct their operations.
