And, as we go into tomorrow’s Independence Day - the police say they will ensure that the public marches are going to be safe for all.  Acting Commissioner Williams started out with the Carnival tomorrow in Orange Walk Town:…

DCP Chester Williams - Commander of Operations
"I know we have the Orange Walk Carnival tomorrow - that is always a huge event and somehow that carnival appear to be even bigger than the Belize City Carnival. So I want to assure the Orange Walk people that tomorrow we will be in Orange Walk in full force, to police the carnival and even after the carnival is over, to ensure that the carnival goes through without any incidents and the safety of their people of Orange Walk Town. I've also heard information in respect to the uniform parade tomorrow that why will the schools allow their students to go through these emergency areas that the Governor General had declared them to be dangerous. Again, those are things that I really and truly want to dispel and ask the Belizean people not to follow these things. Yes they are emergency areas but again I emphasize the point that we continue to police these areas almost as normal in one sense - yes we continue to go after those persons who we believe are involved but it will be pretty safe for uniform parade tomorrow to go through these areas just as the carnival did."
