Commissioner Williams Assesses Border Security Amid Cartel Concerns

Commissioner of Police Chester Williams is conducting a two-day tour of irregular border crossings in northern Belize. According to the Belize Police Department, the commissioner is meeting with officers from the Northern Operations Unit to discuss challenges and explore ways to improve security and operational effectiveness.

It said, “With heightened cartel activity in neighbouring Chetumal, it is only prudent that we reassess our operational objectives to ensure no vulnerable areas are left exposed to potential spillover effects. We remain committed to targeting local Belizeans known to associate with cartels in an effort to disrupt their activities.”

Accompanying Commissioner Williams on the tour are ACP Alford Grinage, Commander of Operations; Sr. Supt. Christopher Noble, Northern Regional Commander; Supt. Aaron Gamboa, OC SPU; ASP Marciano Mejia, OC MIU; and Inspector Jamin Cassanova, OC HIT.
