Police Post To Be Set Up In Tivoli Gardens

Days after the security forces stormed the community of Tivoli Gardens in West Kingston in search of area don Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke, it has been announced that a police post is to be set up in the community. The move is reportedly part of the State’s efforts to entrench law and order in a community that has long been viewed as a law unto itself, that answered only to the ruling area don at the time.

Minister of National Security, Dwight Nelson, announced yesterday that police posts will be set up in all communities that the Government has moved in to dismantle criminal gangs, with Tivoli being the first.

West Kingston already has four police stations – at Denham Town, Fletcher’s Land, Hannah Town and on Darling Street – and it is expected that this new Tivoli police post will be key in the maintenance of law and order, as they seek to ensure that criminals do not turn communities into untouchable criminal strongholds.
