WESTERN BUREAU: Bishop Dr Roy Notice, the chairman of the Jamaica Umbrella Group of Churches, has joined the ongoing public discussion about police body-worn cameras, urging National Security Minister Dr Horace Chang to equip the Jamaican police with the devices in order to ensure effective crime-fighting.

During the keynote sermon at Sunday's National Workers’ Week and Labour Day Thanksgiving Church Service at the St John's Methodist Church, in Montego Bay, Notice said that providing the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) with the cameras will, in turn, improve the public's trust in the security forces.

"The God of righteousness and justice speaks to our dedicated, hard-working police officers who are present in their numbers here today. They serve this nation under the most difficult conditions, and they must be supported in their pursuit of justice, accountability, and truth," said Notice.
