The High Command of the Jamaica Constabulary Force is warning criminals not to carry out attacks on police officers.
The warning follows Sunday's incident, in which a police corporal, assigned to the Clarendon division, was shot and wounded in Sydenham, St Catherine.
Investigators say men attempted to rob the policeman, but he managed to thwart their efforts, and returned fire, hitting one of his attackers.
In a release, the Police High Command said police personnel are highly trained professionals, equipped with superior skills and expertise to handle various threats.
It says they are instructed to utilise their training effectively, especially when confronted with armed adversaries.
The high command says any assault on police officers may provoke a decisive and potentially fatal response.
