Eight Belizean Policemen in the U.S. for Advanced Training (September 16, 2009)

Belmopan, Belize

The United States is sponsoring eight Belizean Police Officers to study at the International Law Enforcement Academy in Roswell, New Mexico from September 14 – October 9, 2009.

The Belizean officers will join officers from Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Panama.  This is the fourth time the Department of State has sent participants from the Government of Belize to attend ILEA training in 2009.  The officers will attend the Advanced Management Course which is designed for law enforcement personnel who are designated by their government as having responsibility for vital areas of national security.

The challenging course will focus on six areas, including: leadership; criminal justice in global crime issues; terrorist threats; technology; managing law enforcement organizations; and crisis management.

Supt. Joseph Myvette; Asst. Supt. Simon Alvarez; Asst. Supt. Joachim Sabal; Inspectors Alton Alvarez; Bert Bowden; Cristobal Valerio; Andrew Ramirez; and Alden Dawson were selected to participate in the course.
