According to Dr. Leopold Miller, Chairman of the National Anti-Crime Association of Belize, on Saturday the B.T.L. park in Belize City will be the venue of the organization’s first anti-crime awareness day. Miller says the event will include music, dancing, food and most importantly, a message.

?We are looking at creating an awareness where we can heighten the awareness and the consciousness of the vicious crimes that have been happening. How can we actually come together?we know that there are solutions suggested. There are concerns, ideas and we want to be able to tap into these concerns and ideas. We want to have our citizens from different communities come. And if we have an information box for them to actually drop in their suggestions, and how we can improve our communities, create more peace and create safer areas for kids and for ourselves.?
