Dear Readers,
have you heard the story of what happened
at OUR police station!?
Two cops from the station forced a woman to
give them oral sex and took bribes.
The woman turned up at the station
vomiting on the ground and pointing out the
policemen.
The men were able to leave the station after
being placed under arrest!
ALL THE ACTIONS WERE TOTAL SLACKNESS!!!
How could police get so low?
How could alleged criminals get out of the station
with not even a picture to show the public.
Now, We do not want this from OUR police
nor at OUR police station! We do not want the bad eggs
to bring down the reputation of OUR community!
And they must know this in no uncertain
terms.
On Sunday June 22 from 5:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
there will be a public protest in front of the
100 man station. (aka Portmore Police / South
St. Catherine Police Head Quarters)
SHAME AND DISGRACE!!
All well thinking citizens are may come and
join the four of us who are planning to be there!!
We can not relax while Jamaica and Portmore
go to the dogs! not over our dead bodies!!!
Read ONE version of the story below...

Cops on the run for sexual assault
Wednesday, 11 June 2008
Two policemen are under investigation for allegedly
forcing a woman to perform sex acts on them Tuesday
night in Portmore, St. Catherine.
A Corporal and a Constable attached to the St. Catherine
South Police Division were reportedly stripped of their
badges Tuesday night and placed in custody.
But now it seems they are on the run.
The two cops disappeared from police detention overnight.
Head of the Police Anti-corruption Branch Assistant
Commissioner of Police (ACP) Justin Felice confirmed
their disappearance even as investigations into the
incident go into high gear.
"We're investigating the offences of blackmail,
extortion and serious sexual offences," said ACP
Felice.
Reports reaching RJR News are that the policemen were
on patrol along the Hellshire Main Road when they
spotted a parked vehicle.
They reportedly found a couple in a compromising
position inside.
It is alleged that the policemen reprimanded the
couple, but after a while tried to extort money from
them.
The cops then accompanied the man and woman to an
Automated Teller Machine where the man withdrew
$1,000 and handed it to them.
However, they were dissatisfied with that amount and
demanded more.
The woman reportedly told them that she had US$1,000
at her home.
The cops then said they would accompany her to her
house to collect the money.
The policemen reportedly left her male companion there
and took the woman to a lonely spot along the Dyke
Road where she was sexually assaulted.
Hours later, she managed to reach the Greater Portmore
Police Station where she filed a complaint.
She was later able to point out the two men to their
superiors.
The two were immediately detained in a room at the
station as investigations got underway, however they
disappeared overnight.
ACP Felice said he was unable to release the names
of the two policemen until investigations were further
along.

'The Greater Portmore Joint Council (GPJC) is inviting the
Executive members of all the Citizens Associations in Greater
Portmore to attend a workshop-type discussion with
representatives of the Ministry of Justice.
This meeting seeks to promote awareness of and support
for the greenpaper on the proposed WHISTLEBLOWERS
legislation which aims to reduce incidences of corruption,
procedural breaches and wrongdoing in general by
encouraging reporting of these activities. It encorages
the reporting of criminal offences committed or likely to
be committed whether in communities or in organizations
and seeks to offer protection to 'WHISTLEBLOWERS'
We have invited a team from the Ministry to come to
Greater Portmore to talk with the citizens of the various
communities about the greenpaper and to have the citizens
make their own suggestions as to what the proposed
legislation should contain. The proposed date for the meeting
is June 21 st 2008 at the KENSINGTON BASIC school and is
scheduled to begin at 7:00pm sharp.
