PSU President says ComPol ‘opened a can of worms’ with criminal link suggestion

Posted: Wednesday, June 11, 2025. 6:54 am CST.

By Breaking Belize News Staff: Tensions flared this week after Commissioner of Police Dr. Richard Rosado publicly hinted that a phone number tied to PSU President Dean Flowers may be linked to an ongoing investigation involving public officers.

Rosado did not directly name Flowers in the alleged probe but posed the question to the media in a public forum. His comment was perceived by many as a veiled accusation, prompting a heated response from the PSU leader.

“I challenge him to prove that those numbers are associated with anything criminal,” Flowers said. “He will have to answer for that defamatory comment.”

Flowers insists that Rosado’s remarks are a distraction from the real issue: the government’s treatment of public officers and the use of the police force to suppress union action. He accused the Commissioner of acting on behalf of political interests and engaging in a personal vendetta.

“I’ve made statements before about how the department was being used to intimidate teachers. Now, rather than respond with facts, he tries to attack me personally,” Flowers said.

He further alleged that the government is attempting to “weaponize” constitutional authority against primarily Black men and that his criticisms were rooted in facts, not personal attacks.

The PSU is calling on Rosado to either retract his statements or provide evidence, while Flowers reaffirms his right to speak out on behalf of the union.
