The U.S. Embassy issued an active security alert warning of increased kidnapping for ransom in Delmas with law enforcement impersonation as the primary tactic. Haiti's Level 4 Do Not Travel designation remains in effect with no modification in the current reporting cycle. OSAC field assessment corroborates the embassy notice with independent institutional reporting. The Delmas corridor represents the highest-density zone of NGO and business operational infrastructure in the metropolitan area. The convergence of embassy, OSAC, and incident reporting creates a triangulated threat picture across the Delmas to downtown Port-au-Prince band.
