THE leadership of Kingdom Government International Ministries (KGIM) in Spanish Town, St Catherine, has been challenged to work with the police to further reduce crime in area while helping to set wayward youth on the right path.

Addressing the opening and dedication ceremony for KGIM’s new sanctuary inside Phil’s Plaza in Twickenham Park on Sunday, territorial officer for the Jamaica Constabulary Force’s Community Safety and Security Branch in the St Catherine North Division Deputy Superintendent Ishmael Williams argued that the opening of the new sanctuary came at an opportune time, when the police are seeking collaboration in the execution of its recently launched ‘Cycle of Violence’ programme in the division.

Williams pointed out that the theme of the programme is ‘Breaking Generational Curses, Building Community’, with the police taking to the streets, “and we expect the church to be there with us”.
