JCF CLAMPS DOWN ON CYBER-THREATS: PORTMORE MAN LATEST TO BE CHARGED FOR INCITING VIOLENCE

 The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) is aware of a serious trend involving online threats aimed at government officials, public servants and members of the general public. The JCF takes all cyber-threats and incitements of violence seriously and intensively pursues them.

As a recent example of this zero-tolerance approach, detectives at the Transnational Crime Investigation Division (TCID) of the Specialized Investigation Branch have arrested and charged a 30-year-old-man following investigations into malicious online content which incites violence against members of the JCF.

The accused is Kevaughn Spencer, otherwise called ‘Asus Major’ and ‘Kevydan Blazing,’ of Madrid Way, Phoenix Vista in Portmore, St. Catherine.

Spencer has been charged with:

  • Use of a Computer for Malicious Communication
  • Use of Audio or Audio-Visual Communication to Promote Criminal Activity

Reports are that on Friday, September 18 at about 6.18 a.m., a video was posted on a social media site inciting violence against members of the JCF and their families, as well as inciting general disorder and violence toward law enforcement personnel.

An investigation was launched and TCID personnel, supported by the St. Catherine South Operations Support Team (OST), carried out an operation at Spencer’s house on Thursday, September 24; but Spencer was not found.  On Saturday, September 26 about 8:30 p.m., Spencer turned himself in to the police accompanied by his Attorney. Following an interview he was subsequently charged.

The JCF reiterates its pledge to maintain public order and urges the public to use digital channels responsibly. Citizens are reminded that making threats and inciting violence online is a serious offence and those responsible may face prosecution.

Green Island On Track to Record Three-Year Low in Murders

Green Island On Track to Record Three-Year Low in Murders

The community of Green Island in Hanover is on track to record its lowest number of murders in three years, with just three murders recorded so far in 2026. The development marks a significant turnaround for a community that, for many years, accounted for no less than half of the murders recorded in Hanover.

The progress was highlighted on the latest episode of the Force4Good Podcast, where Area One Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Glenford Miller, and Superintendent of Police (SP) Andrew Nish, Commanding Officer for the Hanover Division, broke down the policing strategies and community partnerships contributing to the reduction.

According to SP Nish, the improvement in Green Island forms part of a broader decline in murders across the Hanover Division, which recorded a 69% decrease over the last three years, falling from 72 murders in 2023 to 22 in 2025.

“There was a time [in 2023] when the parish recorded 72 murders, Green Island recorded 48; when the parish recorded 48 murders [ in 2024], Green Island recorded 24; in 2025, when the parish recorded 22 murders, 12 of those were in Green Island. So far this year, we only have three incidents of murders in Green Island,” said SP Nish.

SP Nish explained that when the Hanover team examined their data, gangs accounted for a significant portion of murders in Hanover. That informed the team’s strategies.

“What was contributing to those incidents was the gangs,” SP Nish explained, “so we put our resources according to our focused deterrence strategies around the gangs.”

“Presently in Green Island, there is a particular strip of road that has heightened activities, and we have renamed that strip of road, for our purpose, the Green Island Paradise Corridor, and we have dedicated officers to [deal] with that strip of road,”

SP Nish continued. SP Nish also explained the importance of engagement and building trust with the community. “We engaged the schools and all the communities in the Green Island space, and I must say commendations to the station commander, the zone commander, as well as the people of Green Island. They wanted the change; they wanted the police to take charge, and that is exactly what we did,” said SP Nish.

ACP Miller commended the people of Hanover for their support of the policing strategies of the Hanover Division.

“We have to commend the citizens of Hanover Division because without the help of the citizens, we can never solve crime. The citizens needed a change. They wanted the change, and we supported them in making that change, and now, there’s life again in Green Island,” he said.
