Ret'd Col. George Lovell, C.E.O., Ministry of National Security
"I have in fact been working with our partners. The question was asked if there is any sort of liaison being done with Interpol and those other organizations. I want to say that just recently I had the opportunity to visit one of the regional centers for intelligent sharing in Salvador and I can tell you that we are looking favourably at seeing if Belize can participate in those kinds of centers and forums. I just had a conversation with my commissioner of police and before I get ahead of myself publicly, we still have not have a conversation yet with our political authorities to see if this is something that they will accept. I can say from what I've seen that there are in fat value for Belize to be participating in this and so that conversation will be have very soon with the minister of national security and certainly the national security council to see if this is something that we can further. But we have been working closely with our allies and it is the kind of sharing of information that caused us to have this kind of successes that we are a people are in fact seeing her in Belize and so that will continue."
We'll keep following this story and have more on Wednesday.
