O-Wrap: JCF probing ‘assault’ video… 3-y-o shot dead… Red Stripe offers Ja women’s bobsleigh a sled

In case you missed it, here are OBSERVER ONLINE’s top stories for today:

1. JCF probing ‘assault’ video posted by media house2. Red Stripe offers Ja women’s bobsleigh team a sled3. Holness to assume chairmanship of CARICOM — GG4. 3-y-o shot dead while walking with stepdad in St Mary5. Police Service Act to replace Constabulary Force Act6. Opposition Leader calls for measurable outcomes for ZOSO7. Bartlett wants 500,000 Canadian arrivals by 20208. Gov’t presents budget of $773.6 B for 2018/199. UTech, UDC sign MoU on architecture and urban development10. Tackling crime remains major priority

The Police High Command said it has directed the Inspectorate of Constabulary (IOC) to investigate a video clip being circulated on social media that was posted by a media house depicting members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) in an altercation with members of the public.

Red Stripe USA has offered the Jamaica women’s bobsleigh team a bobsled following a dramatic dispute where a former coach, who yesterday quit, said that she is legally responsible for the instrument.

Prime Minister Andrew Holness is to assume the Chairmanship of CARICOM from 1st July to 31st December 2018.

A three year-old girl was killed last night while walking with her stepdad in her community of Cane Lane in Annotto Bay, St Mary, the police have reported.

Governor-General Sir Patrick Allen in his throne speech at the ceremonial opening of Parliament completed a short while ago gave a rundown of legislative measures for which the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP)-led administration will be seeking approval.

Leader of the Opposition Dr Peter Phillips is calling on the government to state definitively what are the measurable outcomes being used to mark the success of the Zones of Special Operations (ZOSO).

Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett says recently released figures from the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) indicate that the country is on a growth trajectory from the Canadian market.

The Government intends to spend $773.6 billion for fiscal year 2018/19, with  $560 billion allocated for recurrent (house-keeping) expenses and $213.6 billion for capital (development) projects.

The University of Technology, Jamaica (UTech) through its Faculty of The Built Environment, on Monday, signed a formal partnership with the Urban Development Corporation (UDC).

A fight against crime remains a major national priority with the Government committing additional resources and support to the security forces for the 2018/19 fiscal year.
