About Belize Police Youth Cadet Corp

Sergeant Gilbert Pitts and a few other friends who lived and worked in the then Police Force, forerunner to the Police Department, founded the Police Youth Service Corp in Belize City, Belize in 1994. Their goal was to provide an alternative to the many negative and self-defeating activities prevalent in our society in the early 1990’s. The PYSC has always been nonsectarian and today accept those of all faith.

Both females and males are members of the PYSC, which covers all ten key areas of the country.

The Police Youth Service Corp (PYSC) and the Belize Defense Force Cadets were amalgamated after a meeting at ministerial level with the commanders of the Belize Police Department and the Belize Defense Force.

On amalgamation day in 1998, the Police Youth Service Corp (PYSC) and the Belize Defense Force Cadets ceased to exist and the Belize Police Youth Cadet Corp (BPYCC) came into existence and was registered as a national organization of youths under the guidance of the Belize Police Department.

With the formation of the Belize Police Youth Cadet Corp the Commanding Officers and Instructors worked tirelessly to provide the best in administration, leadership, and direction.
