Belizean Cops Are Off to Dubai and Honduras for Training

Two Belizean police officers are set to enhance their skills abroad through specialised training. The Belize Police Department announced today that the Deputy Commander of the Orange Walk Police, Assistant Superintendent of Police Armando Dubon, is heading to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and the police constable Kennara Trapp is off to Honduras for a four-year training.

Assistant Superintendent of Police Dubon will begin a four-month diploma course in Policing Innovation & Leadership on January 25, 2025. He departed Belize on January 11 and was selected after a competitive process, which included a panel interview. The course will allow him to engage with experts and explore new methods to improve law enforcement practices.

Meanwhile, PC Trapp, with the San Ignacio Special Operations Team, will head to Honduras for a four-year Officer Cadet Training at the National Police Academy (ANAPO), starting on January 25. Trapp successfully met the rigorous physical, medical, and educational requirements for the program. Once completed, she will return to Belize with enhanced expertise in police science, which will aid in her future role in the department.
