ComPol Commends Police for Work at B.I.M.F.F.

Over the Weekend, thousands of Belizeans travelled to La Isla Bonita, San Pedro for the Belize International Music and Food Festival. There, many were able to enjoy a variety of food and music from several genres. There have been overwhelming reviews about the success of the event, but others have openly complained about poor service, a lack of drinks, and the heavy rains during the performances. Despite these complaints, Commissioner of Police, Chester Williams, says that the event was a grand success and commends the efforts of the Belize Police Department for its contribution to the safety of the public.

“I want to commend the police officers in San Pedro as well as A.C.P. Greenwich and Superintendent Gamboa for the stellar job done in San Pedro during the The Food and Music Festival People were able to go to the island and celebrate in peace. Thanks to the work of the police. I went out there yesterday and just to see the coordination between the police and B.T.B. and I was pleased with what I saw. I was pleased what I saw in terms of how they had the entire area properly cordoned off and so forth. Big respect to the police. And these are things that we don’t normally get commended for. We have police and number of huge events and those events goes through without any incidents that goes to show that as a department we plan and execute properly and we need to continue that.”
