Senior Superintendent Howell Gillett took over in Belize City as the new commander of the Eastern Division South three weeks ago, and since then, he's been deploying his community policing model which he perfected in Belmopan.
This morning, he met with civilians from the activist organization, One Struggle, which was founded by Phillip Willoughby. It's a support group for the survivors of violence, who want to turn their unfortunate circumstances into something positive. So, they've partnered with the new top brass of Eastern Division to help youths living the gang neighborhoods of Belize City's Southside to realize that street life is not something they want to pursue.
Gillett met with several members of One Struggle today, and we stopped by to find out how this new partnership will take shape.
Here's what the two lead personalities had to say on the topic:
The members of One Struggle will be visiting the children of St. Martin De Porres Primary School tomorrow afternoon.
