Prime Minister Andrew Holness has noted that today’s operation in Negril Westmoreland, in which cops confronted alleged robbers, is the result of improved intelligence work by the police.

The incident resulted in 5 men being shot, 4 of them fatally. 

Mr. Holness commended the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) for its improved operations that strategically deal with crime in the country.

The Prime Minister noted that this is the result of a deliberate policy decision to invest in the equipment, intelligence, training and leadership of the JCF.
