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.
