I am not sure how many police officers there are in Belize. I know that the ones I have seen and interacted with on Ambergris Caye appear to be caring and professional. Unfortunately with people within our society there are always some who only care about themselves. This is also true for police officers. Hopefully this is the only one who is involved in this criminal act and he is properly punished for his actions. I also hope that the citizens support those officers who continue to serve the country and island. They serve the community in order to make it a better place to live and visit.

Yes, I have been a police officer here in the states or the past 27 years and I have seen too many criminals sneak through the cracks and use their positions to abuse the public. That is not acceptable to me or the thousands of officers who work for the people.
