| And while those Caye Caulker Cops had to wrestle with a drunkard, public perception still places many of their colleague's shoulder to shoulder with narcos.

Brigadier General Steven Ortega, Commander Belize Defense Force
"We always have to work together. So I would never classify any unit as anything negative because we have to continue this fight and we can only do it as a group."
