B.D.F. To Get Communication Equipment  

Loria also mentioned that the B.D.F. is getting a boost in communication equipment, thanks to help from the Central Bank of Belize. This new gear, which includes body cams, satellite radios, and tracking devices, will be sent to the most remote posts along the Belize/Guatemala border.

 

Brig. Gen. Azariel Loria, Commandant. B.D.F.

“We are in the process of purchasing our satellite phones with the assistance of the BDF. Central Bank of Belize. We’re forming a partnership so that we could at least equip t the most remote areas, be it Cadenas, Machaquil Ha, and Rio Blanco, Ceibo Chico with those types of equipment, so that in the event of any emergency, they can communicate. And we are going to get those tracking devices, but we’re finding means, and it’s not only tracking devices. We are in the era now that we need body cameras to ensure that if they meet Guatemalans, that we get the precise information back to camp. So, that is where we want to go now.”
