State Minister for Local Government Robert Montaque.
State Minister for Local Government Robert Montaque is pointing to an improvement in the Jamaica Constabulary Force's effort to recover missing persons.
Mr. Montague says between June 1 and August 31 this year, 382 persons were reported missing.
Of this amount 247 were accounted.
One hundred and thirty-two persons are still unaccounted for, and three have been declared dead.
Mr. Montaque says since the launch of the Ananda Alert in May last year there has been a steady improvement, however more needs to be done.
“We were recovering around 10% to 15% of missing persons based on reports. We are now averaging 55%, that is still woefully inadequate and as we try to improve the system a gap assessment was done and it showed up a number of things,” Mr. Montague said.
