The St Catherine North Police Division has on record the lowest number of murders for the first four months of the year 2026. The division has recorded nine (9) murders when compared to seventeen (17) murders for the same period in the year 2025. In essence, eight less families were spared the trauma, the pain, the grief of losing a loved one to violence.
We are well aware that we do control many of the variables with regard to murders, but as a professional, patriotic police division, we will continue to do all we can, with the available resources to reduce the opportunities for criminals to commit crimes. Policing strategies cannot be successfully done by the police alone.
The St Catherine North Division credits the reduction on:
- The strategic oversight and constant guidance from the JCF High Command.
- The relentless pursuit of violence producers.
- The adherence to the case management policy with particular attention to minor crimes and disputes.
- Consistent and meaningful stakeholder and community engagements.
The first four months (first third) of the year were very challenging, but with the multiplicity of activities executed in a timely manner, in addition to cooperation from the general citizenry, crime and the fear of crime decreased. It is our hope, with the persistent efforts of all, that crime and fear of crime will continue to reduce across the division.
It is with a grateful heart that I commend the very hardworking men and women assigned to the St Catherine North Police Division for their tireless efforts for the first four months of the year. We have experienced the lowest number of murders over the first four months for any calendar year over the past three decades. Special thanks to our various stakeholders and the general citizenry for their contribution to the policing strategies over the past four months.
As the year progresses, we will continue to work diligently in order to maintain peace within the various communities for families to enjoy and for businesses to flourish. We thank our colleagues from Area Five and other sections of the JCF for their assistance and expertise, which significantly assisted us in detecting, deterring, and solving crimes across the division.
For the next two-thirds of 2026, we will continue to embark on the strategies that have been effective and we will adjust as needed to meet the policing demands of the citizens.
The St Catherine North Police Division will continue with the anti gang initiatives, public order enforcement, monitoring of hot spots, community and stakeholder engagements as well as focus on capacity building and welfare of our members.
We will engage, empower, educate and when needed, we will enforce the law. Together with the help of God, we will continue to serve this division, this parish and by extension, Jamaica land we love, with the proper respect for the rights of every citizen. "Second Third" loading: our efforts continue.
