St. Catherine South Police Division Head Appeals For More Police
Superintendent Marlon Nesbeth, head of the St. Catherine South Police Division, is appealing for more police in the Old Harbour area of St. Catherine, and calling on residents to help the police in the anti-crime drive. He made the call while speaking recently at a community meeting at the Old Harbour Courthouse.
Old Harbour is home to an estimated 53,000 people, but only 35 police personnel are stationed at the town’s police station – a ratio of one cop to approximately 1,500 residents.
He said, “... with the best of intentions, there is a disparity between the police personnel and those they serve … we need all the cooperation we can get [from residents] to solve the crime problems in the Old Harbour communities.”
Nesbeth promised residents that the police would be doing all in their power to deal with matters at had, but noted the inadequate number of cops made the job tougher.
