Police receive training on CIM System

Police officers from the San Pedro Police Department spent last week honing their computer skills at Holy Cross Anglican School. The computer lab at Holy Cross provided the perfect venue for the five day workshop which was led by Corporal Sheridan Lemoth, Ms. Inaldi Cardona - Web Content Manager and Mr. Harry Noble Jr. - Network Administrator. The workshop was part of a country wide training program for the Belize Police Force. The focus was on accessing, storing and sharing information within the police department, agencies of the Government and international law enforcement organizations. Officers learned how to utilize the Crime Information Management System which will enable them to spend less time on paperwork and getting information from other agencies. This in turn will allow the officers to spend more time in crime prevention and serving the people of their community

Second Lion Fish captured alive

On Sunday, two Searious Adventures guides: Horace Bladen & Wayne Cumberbatch, caught yet another Lion Fish. This one was found at Shark Ray Alley at around 11:00 am. Reports from the boys indicate that it is even bigger than the one caught at Xaman Ek. The Hol Chan Marine office personnel picked it up personally at the Searious Adventures Tour Office and transported it to their office for observation. The students of San Pedro Pre School were at the office this morning when The San Pedro Sun stopped by for pictures. The fish has joined the second one that was found up north at Xaman Ek, and both are being kept in the aquarium for observation.
This recent catch makes for three Lionfish caught so far.
