Police will win! Commissioner Blake issues stern warning to criminals

Police Commissioner Dr. Kevin Blake has sent a stern warning to criminals that they will not win in their pursuit to commit crimes.

 

Data from the Ministry of National Security show that the country ended 2024 with 1,139 murders, a reduction of 265 when compared with the previous year.

 

This represents a 19 per cent decline in homicides.

 

Dr. Blake says the police are more motivated this year to go after criminals. 

 

"To the violent criminals who threaten the pace of our communities, hear me clearly. The JCF of 2025 is charged and ready. You will face a force that is highly motivated and driven by a relentless resolve to win. If you choose to continue your path of destruction, you will find us standing firm against you with the full weight of the law behind us. Consider this your warning. We will not ease up until peace prevails," he charged. 

 

"To the Jamaican people, I reaffirm our pledge that JCF will stand resolute in its mission to protect you and dismantle criminal organisations. So let us work together to make this vision a reality," said the police commissioner.
