Residents want Amity Hall Police Station restored

AMITY HALL, St James — Long before last October’s Hurricane Melissa battered the police station in Amity Hall, St James, the building was badly in need of repair.

Things got worse when two containers the police force had planned to use as a temporary location were blown away by the storm’s Category 5 winds.

Last week’s murder in the community has added urgency to residents’ calls for their local police station to be reopened.
