"The training here started on Tuesday morning. What we're looking is to training the officers how to search, detain and handcuff a subject safely so no bones are broken and no one is hurt. Sometimes they go to the hospital, it happens but that isn't our intent. I heard there was a great need for some holsters and some gear in Belize so I got with some friends back home and with some other officers and I was able to get some good donations. Duty belts, Holsters, Handcuffs and Pouches - just stuff that we use on a normal day to day basis back home but they don't have the luxury down here to have them on full time basis."

Over 75 officers from the entire Cayo district received training between Tuesday and today….
