Haitian American Law Enforcement Fraternal Organization (HALEFO)

Created in 1998, HALEFO’s mission is to develop a network of Haitian American Law Enforcement personnel that can use their expertise to respond to the community needs when appropriate. Their objective is to promote cultural diversity. In the past, the organization participated in seminars to educate the Haitian community about their civil rights, how to interact with law enforcement to prevent misunderstanding; and also collaborated with the New York City Police Department in conducting cultural awareness seminars for Police Officers newly assigned to areas with a large Haitian population. HALEFO’s members include police officers, court officers, immigration officers, state troopers, parole officers and correction officers.
