DynCorp International is expanding its work under
its Civilian Police (CIVPOL) contract with the U.S. State Department to
include new training missions in Haiti and Liberia. The expanded work has
a value of more than $7 million.
In Liberia DynCorp International will train and equip up
to 500 Liberian National Police members who will establish an Emergency
Response Unit with the United Nations Police and the United Nations
Mission in Liberia (UNMIL). To support the unit, DynCorp International
will also undertake new building construction and the renovation of
existing LNP facilities. The value of this work is $3.5 million.
The award in Liberia follows DynCorp International’s successful work of training a professional army for the Ministry of National Defense in Liberia under its Security Sector Reform program with the State Department. Under the Haiti Stabilization Initiative task order, DynCorp International will provide training support for up to 444 Haitian National Police. The task order includes DynCorp International procurement of the Haitian police force’s basic and specialized non-lethal equipment, vehicles and communications equipment. The value of this work is $3 million. DynCorp International has also been tasked to refurbish the main police station in Cite Soleil. This station will function as the primary location for this new specialized unit. The refurbishment work will be more than $600,000.
