Superintendent Sutherland also commented on the case on Balam Street in
Belize City. That's where an off duty police officer allegedly
obstructed on duty officers who had gone there to make an arrest. The
off duty cop was allegedly protecting his siblings. Sutherland says the
police officers were assaulted:
Supt Dwayne Sutherland - OC, Professional Standards Branch
"There was also an incident that was shown on social media. I believe
the video was shown on Facebook where there was an altercation on
Balaam street Belize City with some officers and civilians. From that
same incident, a police officer visited our office in Belize City and
he made a complaint. His complaint is that on the 27th of June, 2020 he
was doing an investigation on that street and they searching a number
of men during the search a female unknown to the officer presented
herself and tried to obstruct the officer in the course of his duties
eventually the female assaulted the officer by hitting him in the face
under disciplinary charges."
