MoBay Gangsters Vows To Kill Police Officers Intelligence Document Reveals

The fol­low­ing is an intel­li­gence doc­u­ment alleged­ly pre­pared by mem­bers of the Jamaica Constabulary Force. The threat assess­ment itself is spar­tan, lacks nov­el­ty, and basi­cal­ly reveals main­ly what we already under­stand as par for the course when the secu­ri­ty forces take out known murderers.
The assess­ment has been tidied up for this pub­li­ca­tion, names removed, gram­mar cor­rect­ed, and sen­tences recon­struct­ed. However, noth­ing sub­stan­tive has been changed that would take any­thing away from the orig­i­nal­i­ty of the draft.
The points raised in this intel­li­gence doc­u­ment are seri­ous even as they con­tain no real break­ing news.
The pri­ma­cy of our crime-fight­ing is incor­rect­ly focused on the rights of crim­i­nals. As a con­se­quence, gang mem­bers and their sup­port­ers can take solace in that they can threat­en the lives of our police offi­cers with impuni­ty and even kill mem­bers of our secu­ri­ty forces in retal­i­a­tion when their crim­i­nal con­tem­po­raries are tak­en out when they chal­lenge police in a gun battle.
As a for­mer police offi­cer, I under­stand the con­straints the secu­ri­ty forces are forced to oper­ate under. In fact, it is rea­son­able to say that our police offi­cers have been asked to con­trol crime with their hands tied behind their backs.

It is not that Jamaica is law­less or ungovern­able; the real­i­ty is that Jamaicans can and do obey laws. Jamaicans are all over the world; in the United States, Canada, and Britain, where I imag­ine the largest dias­po­ra groups exist, Jamaicans obey those nation’s laws. Those who do not find out the hard way by way of stiff prison sen­tences and a one-way tick­et back to Jamaica.
Jamaican crim­i­nals engage in these kinds of out­ra­geous acts of dis­or­der and law­less­ness because of the com­plic­i­ty of the two polit­i­cal par­ties (one more than the oth­er). They refuse to pass laws that set clear lines of demar­ca­tion between what our soci­ety will tol­er­ate and vio­lent crim­i­nal conduct.
Those who oppose tough penal­ties for vio­lent crim­i­nals are crim­i­nals them­selves, or they are ben­e­fit­ting from crim­i­nal­i­ty, regard­less of the high stations.
People com­mit vio­lent crimes because they have a rea­son­able belief they will not be caught. In far too many cas­es, this belief is val­i­dat­ed because the police either refuse to act on clues that would bring mur­der­ers to jus­tice or they have no clue how to inves­ti­gate crimes.
People com­mit crimes because even when arrest­ed, the nation’s judges release the most vio­lent mur­der­ers on bail. In far too many instances, the police arrest an accused mur­der­er, and the judge hear­ing the bail appli­ca­tion sum­mar­i­ly grants bail. The accused then kills the witness/​es to the first mur­der, and he is arrest­ed for a sec­ond time and is again released on bail even as he is yet to face tri­al for the first mur­der, which by all accounts is now a weak­ened case with the death of the witnesses.

On record, these acts of crim­i­nal com­plic­i­ty by the nation’s judges have hap­pened up to five times for a sin­gle accused.
Simply put, our coun­try is infest­ed with crim­i­nal sym­pa­thiz­ers at all lev­els of the pub­lic sec­tor. Politicians, judges, all the way down the lad­der. We have a sys­tem con­t­a­m­i­nat­ed with peo­ple who large­ly come from the same poi­son tree of acad­e­mia. A tree that has not only con­t­a­m­i­nat­ed Jamaica but has its ten­ta­cles across the Caribbean.
Sadly, many mem­bers of the Constabulary are now proud fruits of this poi­son tree. And so this assess­ment of what ails our coun­try will not go down well with them.
They are now able to give a bet­ter account­ing of them­selves if speak­ing a lit­tle bet­ter English qual­i­fies as such, but they are no bet­ter at orga­niz­ing and main­tain­ing a bet­ter police depart­ment to serve the inter­ests of the silent major­i­ty of the Jamaican peo­ple and for future generations.

INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENT  

Intelligence gath­ered reveals that there are threats against the lives of two police offi­cers who work in the St. James division.
The threat result­ed from the fatal shoot­ing of (heinous gang­ster Peter Johnson o/​c Jolo in the Flankera com­mu­ni­ty last Monday, February 26, 2024, elec­tion day.
Johnson was linked to the Leroy Russell o/​c Tommy Lee o/​c Guzu, led vio­lent Downtown Sparta gang and the Alliance gang. He was fatal­ly shot after he engaged the police in a gun battle. 
Relatives and friends of Johnson are blam­ing the two offi­cers, who shall remain unnamed, for Johnson’s death.
Intelligence gleaned revealed that rel­a­tives and friends of the deceased Johnson are orches­trat­ing plans to kill the officers. 

The intel­li­gence revealed that threats against the lives of the offi­cers were made at the scene of the shoot­ing by close fam­i­ly mem­bers of the slain Johnson to kill police offi­cers who they believed were the offi­cers who end­ed Johnson’s life.
As a result of the inci­dent, fac­tions aligned with Johnson engaged in crim­i­nal activ­i­ties in the area in protest of the shoot­ing. There have been spo­radic inci­dents of road block­ages and inter­mit­tent gun­fire on sev­er­al days fol­low­ing the death of this gangster.
Members of the Downtown Sparta and Alliance gangs are known to be involved in sev­er­al mur­ders, shoot­ings, and con­tract killings over the years. Hence, their capac­i­ty to cause injury or death to offi­cers remains credible.
These threats are assessed to be real and true. It is there­fore strong­ly advised that all steps are tak­en to pre­vent this threat from com­ing to fruition. These actions should include:
 Advising the offi­cers of the threat against their lives (and pos­si­bly their fam­i­ly) and that nec­es­sary secu­ri­ty arrange­ments are made for them where appropriate. 
 Increased tar­get­ing of gang mem­bers and asso­ciates of the name crim­i­nal syndicates.
 Increased covert and high-vis­i­bil­i­ty patrol in the com­mu­ni­ty where the offi­cers reside.
 Police offi­cers liv­ing and work­ing in the divi­sion should be advised of pos­si­ble attacks by criminals.
