posted (July 31, 2015)
A week ago, we told you about that mid-year review that Police Minister John Saldivar held with the most senior officers of the Department. As part of the discussion, the Police Department decided that they would create a police jurisdiction for Hopkins alone, and today, they began discussions with the community to make that happen.

Today in Hopkins, Saldivar met with Southern Regional Commander Ralph Moody, Assistant Superintendent, Mark Stephens, Sergeant Cardinal Smith, and the Chairman of Hopkins Village, Wayne Casimiro. Also at that meeting was the Belize Tourism Industry Association, representatives of the Belize Tourism Board, and members of the Business Community.

Members of BTIA and BTB affirmed their support and are prepared to assist with a police barracks to house additional police officers, renovation of the police station as well as transportation and communication. Minister Saldivar said that his ministry will assist with 2 motorcycles and the furnishing of the barracks and additional police officers to be a part of the Hopkins Police Sub-Formation.
