For several years, the commune of Carrefour has been plagued by a disturbing rise in insecurity. Local authorities and police union representatives attribute this to a particular phenomenon: the "Caravane." Initially formed by police officers to combat criminals, these groups have devolved into corrupt entities, recruiting young civilians and collaborating with the very criminals they were meant to fight.

The Mayor of Carrefour, Jude Édouard Pierre, responded to what he believes is the root cause of the insecurity in his city: the Caravane. Speaking on Magik9 on Thursday, May 16, 2024, he highlighted the negligence of police oversight authorities that allowed this situation to persist. He claims to have repeatedly alerted them to the dangers of these practices, but to no avail. Correspondence sent to police authorities went unanswered, with no investigations or sanctions initiated.
