Police Resisting Crime Wave
posted (May 4, 2018)
So, what's driving all these violent crimes, and what can police do in Belize City to contain it? That's what we asked Deputy Commissioner Chester Williams when we caught up with him at another event today.

He said that police have an idea why all these recent murders and shootings are happening, and they will re-adjust and deploy as necessary.

Here's how he put it:

Chester Williams - Deputy Commissioner, Operations
"I can assure the public that we have noticed that the trend in the violence have changed. We are concentrating more with the rivalry involved with two other fraction. That rivalry had in some extent became dormant. Now we are seeing a new rivalry emerging elsewhere so we are now looking at what we are able to do to stem the recent surge in the shootings in Belize City. It is not something that cannot be done. I am sure that with our efforts and the assistance of our partners we will be able to get to the bottom of these shootings and we'll be making some adjustments in our operational strategies to see how we can combat the problem as quickly as possible."
