Even though Belize's neighbors are seeing a spike in COVID-19 cases,
border jumping is still an active threat.
And that's why yesterday, Police Commissioner Chester Williams and
several of his senior commanders visited the western villages of
Arenal, Calla Creek, Succotz, and Bullet Tree Falls. He was accompanied
by ACP Marco Vidal; the Western Regional Commander, Senior
Superintendent Lynden Flowers; Commander Benque Viejo, Supt. Diana
Hall; and one of her Deputies, ASP Nazario Zib.
They were in these communities to reiterate the point that illegal
crossings can threaten the country's public health. They also made
several strategic changes in those villages to better address this
urgent issue.
