Police Federation Chairman lambasts JFJ for recent comments on police fatal shooting incidents

Chairman of the Jamaica Police Federation, Sergeant Arleen McBean has criticised human rights lobby group Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ) following concerns it raised about the number of police fatal shootings.

Last week, the JFJ raised fresh concerns after six males were fatally shot by cops in two separate incidents in St. James and Westmoreland on Monday, April 7.

Executive Director Mickel Jackson told IRIE FM News that if these fatal shootings continue at the current pace, there could be 300 deaths resulting from police shootings by year-end.

She said while she welcomes the police’s work and the reduction in murders, there is a need for accountability.

Ms. Jackson called on citizens to join in demanding the use of body-worn cameras and noted that JFJ is to lead a peaceful protest on April 29.

Speaking at the funeral service of a fallen cop in St. Ann yesterday, Sergeant McBean lambasted the JFJ for these comments.

She called on the JFJ to highlight the successes of the police, among other things at its protest later this month.

Sergeant McBean also challenged the JFJ to work with the police to help save lives.
