MANCHESTER, Jamaica—Even as senior officers in Manchester on Saturday gathered to pay tribute to the leadership of outgoing commander Superintendent Carey Duncan, many got emotional as they described the dedication and compassion he has for all staff, including civilians.

Duncan, who served as commander for the Manchester division from April 2024 to June 2026, was credited for leading the renovation of the Mandeville police station’s commanders’ suite conference room and for going the extra mile for police personnel and civilian staff.

“He made sure that even the civilian staff got care packages after Hurricane Melissa,” one senior officer said.
