In many countries regular patrolling is a part of the job description of a police officer. Another part of the job description is that an officer should response immediately when

called by citizens in need.

I am not sure and so I wonder if these are some of the job description for the Police officers in Jamaica. I have known of situation whereby the police station was called and up till now the police have not responded. Situation like this is not helping the crime and violence that exist. The police are being paid to protect the country so why are they not doing so. Why should they receive a cheque every month when they know that they don’t deserve it because they did not work for it? This is a crime, this is fraud. The citizen of Jamaica should report these officer, they should be investigated and if guilty fired. The Minister of National Security, Trevor McMillan and Commissioner Hardley Lewin have to take responsibility for running an adequate force. They are making the big money and doing nothing as we can see, because if they are it is a big secret and the Jamaican certainly are not benefiting from it.

All Police should have logs to document the time they make their patrol rounds, exactly where they go and what they observe. These rounds should be made and document day and night. Having a police presence will help to deter crime. We should have adequate officer in the station for coverage and to make rounds.
