Changes are coming to the protocol governing the use of private vehicles by the police while carrying out operations in the wake of safety concerns.
Police Commissioner Major General Antony Anderson on Thursday promised to act on complaints from members of the public.
Earlier this week, residents of Railway Lane in Tawes Pen, St. Catherine said the use of private vehicles by the police poses a risk to public safety.
Following a quadruple killing in the area on Sunday, the residents said they were caught off guard after gunmen drove into the lane and identified themselves as police.
In response to the concern, General Anderson, who toured Railway Lane on Thursday, said the police will make operational changes.
While he was tight-lipped on the specifics, he noted that the use of unmarked vehicles plays an important role in police operations so different tactics would have to be implemented to differentiate the police from criminals.
