Police Commissioner Dr Kevin Blake, has ordered a review and assessment of the security arrangements of a number of scheduled premises.
Scheduled premises include Jamaica House, Gordon House, Kings House, and the headquarters of ministries.
It follows Saturday night's arson attack at the national parliament building, Gordon House.
CCTV footage revealed that about 10 p.m., an individual threw a plastic bottle containing an accelerant at the building, igniting it before fleeing north along Duke Street on foot.
The fire was quickly extinguished, and resulted in minimal damage, estimated at approximately 80 thousand dollars.
Dr Blake says this attack on Gordon House represents a significant and disturbing incident.
He says the JCF is committed to thoroughly investigating the incident to identify and apprehend the perpetrator.
A senior detective from the Criminal Investigation Branch's headquarters is leading the investigation.
The police are urging anyone with information related to this incident to provide assistance, to ensure the safety and security of the country's national institutions.
National Security Minister Dr Horace Chang also weighed in on the Gordon House incident, and condemned the arson attack.
