BDF Strengthens Ranks with Legal and Culinary Graduates

The Belize Defence Force (BDF) concluded two key training programs, the Military Paralegal Course and the Cooking Cadre, on Friday. Over the past eight weeks, participants were trained in legal and culinary disciplines critical to the operational strength of Belize’s security forces.

The BDF said in a social media statement, “These outstanding individuals have displayed remarkable resilience, teamwork, and passion across two vital areas of training.”

The Cooking Cadre focused on culinary skills, nutrition, and meal planning to support the well-being of personnel. “Their creativity in the kitchen elevated each dish… it’s a service to those who serve,” the BDF added.

Meanwhile, trainees in the Military Paralegal Course covered Military Law, Constitutional and Administrative Law, Court Reporting, and more. The course prepares them to provide legal support across the BDF, Coast Guard, Police Department, Immigration, Customs, and Fisheries.
