Earlier in the news, you saw our interviews with National Security Minister John Saldivar and Deputy Police Commissioner Chester Williams.
We ran into them this afternoon delivering lunch to all the police officers stationed at those temporary outposts as part of Operation, ACT.
Their police and ministry bosses wanted show them a little appreciation for remaining diligent and standing watch at these locations in the blistering hot sun.
Here's what Saldivar told us about this small gesture of gratitude:
Hon. John Saldivar, Minister of National Security
"We are trying to stay engaged. We are trying to keep our police officers and BDF motivated. It's a tough job that they do so this is a way of us just showing our appreciation for the work that they have been doing and providing them with a lunch."
"It was prepared by the Belize Coast Guard. We had BBQ and a bun snack with juice and water. It's also a gesture that we are working as one ministry and it's something we plan to do on a routine basis with the Coast Guard, BDF, the police on various occasions providing the lunch and we are inviting members of the public institutions and non-government organizations that want to help. We think it's a good gesture to show our police officers, they for the lunch or in the evenings for dinner. We have visited basically the site under the ACT program that we have going and we have visited from all the way across Racoon, all the way back to Jane Usher Boulevard. We are here now. We went back to PIV area. We went across north side. All of the areas that by the ACT operation."
Saldivar said that this type of goodwill gesture will take place more frequently in the near future.
