New motorcycles for Police Department

Today the Police Department received a donation of five Suzuki motorcycles to assist the police in highway patrols and other enforcement duties within the city and countrywide. The cycles are a gift from the Honourary Consul General of Belize to the Dominican Republic, Eduardo Lama. According to Inspector Martin Yama, Head of Traffic Branch in Belize City, his department will now be able to respond more quickly without having to worry about traffic jams.

“It is very essential because we were experiencing some equipment problems, especially with relation to motor vehicles and in particular motorcycles. Because what we have is that whenever we have a traffic accident, we want to respond immediately and I believe that one of these equipment or motor vehicles will be able to respond that quick with a motorcycle.”

The motorbike assembly was completed by J.M.A. motors, the Suzuki dealership in Belize.
