Area 5 headquarters, St Andrew
North Division, was named the winner
of the 2024 Lasco JCF Saluting
Our Heroes Chairman Award at a
function at the Jamaica Pegasus
hotel on Friday. Thompson — who

Rawle, executive chairman of Lasco
Affiliated Companies — distinguished
himself among 157 nominees and his
recognition highlights a commitment
to community-based policing that has
been described as transformative for
the residents he serves. Thompson,
along with four of the six finalists,
was surprised with on-the-spot promotions. (Photo: Llewellyn Wynter)
