After the graduation of the 3rd Promotion of the Tourist Police (PoliTour) in February 2018 whose training began in mid-November 2017 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-23514-haiti-security-graduation-of-the-3rd-promotion-of-the-tourist-police.html , the agents of this Promotion (44 men and 10 women) took an intensive course of 40 hours of swimming at the Carl's Swimming Club in order to complete their training.

On Friday, at the final session, the Chief Commissioner, Gary Verdilus, Director of Politour, thanked the Carl's Swimming Club Management and the training team for their contribution to the professional training of the members of the PoliTour, recalling "Learning to swim is essential for them both personally and professionally. In addition, this will allow the police of the 3rd Promotion of Politour to be at the same level as their colleagues of the first and second promotion."

Recall that the PoliTour, created under the Minister of Tourism Stéphanie Balmir Villedrouin in 2013 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-8356-haiti-security-acceleration-of-the-creation-of-the-tourist-police.html has for mission is to monitor the tourist sites and monuments of the country, guide tourists and take action against any individual adversely affecting the tourism sector.
