Emergency responders rushed to the scene, but tragically, there was nothing they could do. Constable Cus was pronounced dead at the scene. ASP Stacy Smith says the department is grieving.

“ What the investigation has so far suggested is that Cus was traveling on his motorcycle to Belize City when he lost control and collided into a metal lamppost that is located in the, on the median in the highway.  PC Cus has been a serving member of the Belize Police Department for just over four years, and the loss of Mr. Cus is certainly mourned by the ministry as well as the department. Though he has only amassed four years of service, by all indications, he was a very dedicated uncommitted police officer.”
