Assisting in that crime suppression are two more vehicles for the Southside. It's part of the ten that the police headquarters in Belmopan received in the first week of November and Williams says it's almost enough to put his formation halfway to where it needs to be:…

Sr. Supt Chester Williams - Commander, Eastern Division Southside

"We received 2 additional vehicles, one assigned to precinct 1 and one assigned to precinct 2, so we continue to build on our fleet; we are not where we want to be. We have applied to the US embassy through the CARSI programme for 10 vehicles and as I have said before in order for us to effectively police outside we would want to police it, we need 10 vehicles. Currently we are half way there, we have 5. Of the 5, 3 are not in good working condition but we try to do our best with them. Despite the deficiency in terms of our resources we try not to complain. We try to be as effective as we can with what we have because the end of the way we have the public to serve and in so doing we want to be able to serve them in a way that they deserve to be served. I am very optimistic that in the very not so distant future we'll be getting those vehicles that we have requested from the US embassy. And once we get those then I can pretty much say then that we are where we want to be in terms of our vehicular resources."
