In mid 2023, police had to establish a fixed presence in the north - due to Mexican cartels pressing into Corozal. And now, they may need to keep it there on a long term basis. Here's what the Compol told us today.

"Yes in NSC the Prime Minister had directed us to put together another budget to take us for another six months and once that time comes, we reassess the situation on the ground, and if there is a need to extend then we do so. I believe that things look like our presence in that area will have to become permanent so I foresee a permanent operation for us in that area."
