ComPol Williams Says Enjoy Yourself In Peace

The Belize Police Department was successful in keeping the peace in Belize City on Carnival Day.  In fact, while the Commissioner of Police was out of the country for the Carnival Road March, Deputy Commissioner Dr. Richard Rosado ensured that spectators, like revelers, were safe during and after the event. But Orange Walk was a different story altogether, notwithstanding the efforts of ComPol Williams to maintain law and order.  There were at least two stabbing incidents, one of which was fatal.  There were also several scuffles that happened along the carnival route.  Our question to the ComPol earlier had to do with the challenges faced by officers tasked with ensuring that the annual event ran smoothly.
