No need for “panic reaction” accusations! I’m making a perfectly logical statement! If you truly know our impressive history of crime and violence, particularly over the past 30-plus years, then you will understand where I am coming from.

Police Commissioner Owen Ellington - File
Police Commissioner Owen Ellington has instructed investigators in the St Catherine South Division to move swiftly to capture those responsible for Special Constable Henry’s killing.
Commissioner Ellington made it clear that rather than driving fear into the members of the JCF, these incidents only serve to strengthen their resolve to go after the criminals.
In extending condolences to the young constable’s family and colleagues, the commissioner urged Jamaicans, particularly those with information on criminals, to cooperate with the police so the wrongdoers can be brought to justice.
