Police Commissioner Dr. Kevin Blake is calling on citizens to work with the police to ensure the continued reduction in murders.
According to the commissioner, data shows that there was a 21 percent reduction in murders compared to the similar period last year.
Dr. Blake said even as murders are reduced, greater emphasis must be placed on domestic violence and disputes.
He said to maintain the reduction, the constabulary force must remain proactive in addressing these issues.
In the meantime, he expressed the desire to secure a peaceful Jamaica, where citizens and business operators can feel safe.
