Police Want Drones All Along The Border
posted (July 17, 2020)
But even a combat ready minister can't catch all the jumpers; truth is, no army or force of men and women can. That's why the cops are looking to drones to help police the border. This morning the Commissioner appealed to the business community for a donation of two industrial grade drones. He shared his wish list: Chester Willams, Commissioner of Belize
"I can tell you that we are trying our utmost best to get two drones but you would know the financial strain the government is in and so they have not been able to procure those drones but if there is anybody out there, any company who believes that they would like to be generous to the police department we are willing to accept the donation of two drones but again we don't want the home use we want the industrial type and we know that they are very costly. Those that we're trying to pro-cure run like $45,000 for one. So no we don't want the small little ones we want something almost similar or better than what channel 5 have."
