Police officer knocked out in Placencia, fellow officers retaliate going against ‘social media policy’

Posted: Monday, April 18, 2022. 4:08 pm CST.

By Aaron Humes: A confrontation in Placencia on Saturday night that left a police officer apparently injured has provoked a strong response.

Certain police officers have been speaking out publicly on social media, defending the actions of their colleagues.

But the Police Department has stepped in, cautioning that some officers it feels went too far will have to be disciplined.

In the Department’s official WhatsApp media channel, Communications Officer Assistant Superintendent of Police Fitzroy Yearwood wrote, “The Belize Police Department condemns the comments being made by some officers on social media in response to the incident in Placencia Village. These comments are a clear violation of our social media policy. The matter will be dealt with accordingly by the Professional Standards Branch.”

ASP Yearwood added that as the matter is under investigation, the accused must be given due process.
