Since the launch of the compliance initiative, the SCU has been reviewing several cases, and the public will be updated on the findings as they become available. In its ongoing efforts to improve enforcement and protect consumer interests, the SCU has introduced the following measures to enhance compliance and expand regulatory coverage:

Training NEMO Personnel in San Pedro: The SCU is working with NEMO San Pedro to train designated individuals to identify violations and issue tickets, particularly during emergencies. A specialised training package has been developed, and sessions will be conducted shortly.

Collaboration with Belmopan City Council: The SCU is engaging with the City Council to report violators to the Trade Licensing Board and streamline the process for residents to file complaints.

Expanded Staffing and Regional Offices: Approval has been granted to hire additional personnel and establish regional offices in the Orange Walk District and Independence Village, further strengthening enforcement efforts.

Increased Surveillance of Wholesalers: Monitoring activities have been expanded to include the wholesale segment of the supply chain to detect and address non-compliance effectively.
