Canadian police officers on humanitarian mission to Jamaica
KINGSTON, Jamaica – A Canadian contingent of 40 police officers are now in the island until the end of this week on a humanitarian mission.
The group of police officers, who are all Jamaican or of Jamaican roots, also hope to share information with the Jamaican police and community.
Chief of the Winnipeg Police Service Devon Clunis, who reached out to the York Regional Police Service and the Toronto Police Service to participate in the humanitarian mission, admitted that they do not have all the answers.
“We are not saying we have all the answers… but we are saying that we have some resources that can be utilised and that’s why we are here,” Chief Clunis told reporters and editors at the Jamaica Observer Monday Exchange at the newspapers Beechwood Avenue offices in Kingston.
He stressed that there is a great passion abroad for Jamaica and that the team is in the island to see how best they can assist.
