| A GREAT Program For Salvador And Belize |
| Thu, April 27, 2017 |

| Earlier this month police officers from El Salvador joined the Belize Police Department to participate in the Gang Resistance Education And Training, also known as the GREAT program. The officers underwent training to help them engage with their communities and teach them life skills that would help to keep them out of gang life. Today, after almost two weeks of training, this session's cohort graduated. We spoke to the officer in charge of community policing and the GREAT program in Belize, Inspector Elroy Carcamo, about the progress these officers have made...
Belize is only country in the region that offers GREAT training in both English and Spanish, making it a prime contender for collaborative workshops with its neighbors.
