KINGSTON, Jamaica – The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) has moved to clarify how it assigns close protection officers (CPOs) to public officials following comments it says are being made in the public domain.
In a statement on Tuesday, the police noted that close protection officers are specially trained members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force assigned to the Protective Services Division (PSD).
The division is responsible for assigning close protection to individuals whose office, duties or circumstances warrant that level of security.
