And police formations also got recognized on a quarterly basis for holding crime down. But in 2014, it stopped altogether - except for today when we learned that the Southern region got bigged up for the best crime figures. Yesterday at the Police Training Academy in Belmopan the Minister of National Security, and the Commissioner of Police held a meeting to discuss the Annual Statistics and the way forward for the next 3 months.
