Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) Territorial Officer for Hanover, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Nadine Murray-Brown, says targeted community engagement initiatives are helping to reduce crime in Green Island as residents and law enforcement collaborate to sustain peace.

Speaking with JIS News during the recent Green Island Police Station Peace Fun Day at the Haughton playfield, DSP Murray-Brown noted that while the community has traditionally contributed significantly to Hanover’s murder figures, this year has seen marked improvement.

“To date, of the seven murders that we have, we are only seeing two in the Green Island space, which is a very, very, very big improvement for what they normally have,” she indicated.
