Jamaica's murder count might drop below 700 cases for the first time in nearly four decades after Prime Minister Andrew Holness told everyone his government dropped over 90 billion dollars into security forces since taking power. The PM gave props to police and soldiers who stayed active during Hurricane Melissa instead of hiding inside stations, and he credited sustained funding plus policy backing for driving violent crime numbers down by 42 percent compared to last year.
Holness talked up how police stations became community hubs after the hurricane wrecked towns across the island, with residents showing up for phone charging, internet access, and aid distribution. He pushed citizens to keep supporting law enforcement while promising continued investment into making the country safer through better-equipped security services.
