The Crooks Report, officially A Review of the Belize Police Department, is a 2008 green paper on policing in Belize, written by Harold Crooks (a Jamaican consultant), and commissioned by the interior ministry of Belize. It was released in full by early 2010. The report is notable for having been endorsed by the Ministry and Police Department, despite the heavy criticism it contained, and despite subsequent criticisms regarding the lack of progress on the implementation of its recommendations.
