JCF Using Community Engagement to Regain Trust of Citizens

The Jamaica Constabulary Force is on a mission to regain the trust of the citizens. During a community tour in St Catherine, the police played football youngsters of Trinity. Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in charge of the Linstead Division, Sharmitch Barnett said integrating with residents is part of their initiative to partner with communities and encourage participation in investigations.
