JCF STATEMENT ON CIRCULATING VIDEO INVOLVING POLICE RESPONSE
The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) is aware of a video currently circulating online showing two police officers responding to a distress call that gives the impression of improper conduct on the part of the police.
The police were, in fact, acting on a request from a concerned parent who sought assistance to check on two young children left alone at home.
Upon arrival, the parent directed the officers on how to gain lawful access to the house to ensure the children’s safety and well-being. The officers carried out their duties with urgency and care in keeping with their mandate to protect life and property.
The JCF acknowledges the positive response of the police. We remain committed to transparency and professionalism in all our engagements with the public.
