Cops increase numbers on patrol

KINGSTON, Jamaica – The Police High Command says it has begun to increase number of policemen and women now monitoring streets across the island.

“With Christmas around the corner this is part of the strategy going forward,” a senior member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force said Friday.

The cop said that part of the aim was to reduce the number of policemen and women in the offices and “increase the numbers on the streets”.
