Cop killers must be severely punished – Police Federation
KINGSTON, Jamaica – The Jamaica Police Federation in condemning the murder of Corporal Alphanso Gassop says that the frequent attacks on law enforcement officers indicate the frightening level of lawlessness that exists in the country.
The police group implored members to be “extra vigilant and be ready to professionally defend themselves in the event of attacks by criminal element” adding that all cop killers must be severely punished according to law.
Gassop was gunned down on Monday, July 1, along Sunrise Crescent off Red Hills Road in Kingston.
The Federation said that Gassop gave “36 years of sterling contribution” to the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF).
