gang recruits
The minister revealed that Jamaica was collaborating with several international partners to build a cadre of police with the requisite skills to facilitate systematic identification tracking and documentary and evidence production to build cases against these gangs. "We are also taking firm and determined steps in communities to reduce the pool of gang recruits."
Nelson disclosed that the Government was also tackling the links among criminal gangs in Jamaica, Haiti and Dominican Republic by developing a platform of cooperation with these countries.
"In June of this year, we exchanged letters with Haiti and the Dominican Republic, which allows the security forces in all three states to share information, engage in joint operational initiatives, and undertake capacity building exchanges." The minister also listed recent breakthroughs in the war against criminal gangs. He said investigators had raked in millions of dollars by seizing the assets of persons who had accumulated wealth by illegal means
