“We do have out Christmas anti crime campaign ongoing and over the Christmas holiday we know that it is going to be a very long weekend, we are going to increase our presence in Belize City particularly in the area where we have the gang flare ups. While yes we believe that we will see a decline in gang activities in the next few days we still do not want to be caught off guard and so we are going to ensure that we have an adequate number of police officers on the ground in Belize City in particular with a view to ensure that the residents of the city are safe during this time.”
