“I just want to give the Belizean people the assurance that the Belize Police department continue to remain vigilant across the country. We continue to run operations across the country with a view to minimize the occurrences of crimes, particularly robberies and murders. We would like to also commend the good men and women who are out there on a daily basis ensuring that our objectives are achieved. Like Mr. Vidal said, they are everyday out there putting their lives on the line. Often times we find ourselves under fire but nonetheless those do not deter us from continuing to pursue these criminals. We will continue to pursue them wherever they go through breadth of this country.”

The Commissioner of Police will be holding a public meeting in Punta Gorda at the Complex Building on Friday evening at five. He says that the purpose is to listen to the concerns and ideas of the residents so that they can work together to address the scourge of violence in the southern town. The commissioner will be accompanied by his senior management team.
