Belize’s AG faces scrutiny for not commenting on police corporal’s dreadlock discipline, sparking debate over bias and uniform policies.

In January 2026, Belize’s Attorney General is under scrutiny for not publicly addressing the case of Corporal Kenrick Bol, the first male police officer in the country to wear dreadlocks, who was warned to remove his hairstyle citing uniform rules. The incident has sparked national debate over cultural expression, discrimination, and police grooming standards, with the Attorney General stating he lacks sufficient details to comment, emphasizing that discrimination claims require case-by-case review.
