ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — Commissioner of Police Dr Kevin Blake has vowed that the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) will not retreat in its fight against criminal gangs following Friday morning’s deadly gun attack on police personnel in Sligoville, St Catherine, which left one officer dead and another critically injured.
In a strongly worded statement, Blake condemned the attack, declaring that the police would intensify their efforts to dismantle criminal networks responsible for violence across the island.
“Let there be no misunderstanding. The Jamaica Constabulary Force will not be intimidated. We will not retreat and we will not relent,” Blake declared.
