ComPol Promises Safe Voter Conditions on Wednesday

With the recent spike in gang activity and violent crimes in Belize City, some residents are worried about safety during the 2025 general elections. But Police Commissioner Chester Williams reassures everyone that the police have a solid plan to keep the entire country safe. He encourages all Belizeans to come out and vote.

 

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police

“I want to categorically and emphatically speak to the Belizean people that it is going to be safe for them to come out and cast their vote tomorrow for elections. As much as yes, we are stretched thin, particularly in Belize City. I have put together our operational plans for tomorrow to make sure that we have adequate number of police officers from the specialized unit to conduct operations in Belize City tomorrow and those persons who we believe are problematic will be detained. They might not have the chance to vote. We are not going to put the elections at peril because of these people. It’s not going to happen. So, again, feel free and feel safe to come out and vote tomorrow.”
