Battle hardened police recruits graduate
They received their baptism under fire on Friday, January twenty-first when they were the first to man the front line at the National Assembly in Belmopan. A week later, the men and women of recruit squad number eighty-one stood in formation, not to face sticks and stones but to graduate from the police-training academy. Eighty recruits–eleven women and sixty-nine men–received their diplomas following twenty-eight weeks of intense training. The baton of honour was awarded to recruit Jordany Pech.
