Members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) yesterday said they remain resolute in their task to beat back criminality even as the death of Superintendent Leon Clunis rocks the organisation.
Speaking with journalists at Kingston Public Hospital where Clunis died, senior members of the JCF said the police force is resolved to continue in its charge to serve and protect the people of Jamaica.
I can recall two incidents prior to this where we have lost two officers, but this has taken it a step up,” Superintendent Wayne Cameron, chairman of the Police Officers' Association, told reporters.
Chairman of the Jamaica Police Federation Detective Sergeant Patrae Rowe echoed his colleague's sentiments and called on Jamaicans to support law enforcement.
“I know that Mr Clunis's passing will provoke another round of tribute, and we hope that Parliament and the people of Jamaica will coalesce around the police and give us the support, because we need the support,” said Rowe.
