BPD Commends RPC Alana Reneau for Life-Saving Response

According to the Belize Police Department, Recruit Police Constable (RPC) Alana Reneau of Squad 98, attached to the Raccoon Street Police Station, is being recognised for her heroic actions on April 23rd, 2025.

While being transported after defensive tactics training, RPC Reneau encountered a mother whose baby had stopped breathing. The department reports that without hesitation, she took swift action—gently patting the baby’s back, rubbing his chest, and repositioning his tongue to clear the airway. When the baby gasped for air, she continued assisting by blowing in his face to help him breathe.

RPC Reneau ensured the mother and child were quickly taken to the Mahogany Sub-Station and then escorted to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital by SPU Mobile for further medical attention.

The Belize Police Department stated that her rapid response and decisive action exemplify bravery and highlight the real-life impact of police training. They extended a heartfelt salute, saying, “Well done, RPC Reneau!”
