New Mobile Police Stations & Mobile Forensic Units Donated By British Government
The police were recently presented with three customised mobile police stations, and three fully equipped mobile forensic units. The vehicles were donated to the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) by the UK’s Department For International Development (DFID), as part of the British Government’s ongoing efforts to assist the Jamaican Government with the modernisation of its police force.
It is hoped that these vehicles will assist the JCF with regard to the investigation of crime scenes, facilitating the preservation of evidence in transport through temperature-controlled storage, and developing community safety and community policing in Jamaica. The mobile forensic units are equipped with a generator, lighting, tent and a number of other technical pieces of equipment to enhance the service delivery, including a refrigerator to preserve forensic samples.
The units, which cost a total of US$711,867.50, were handed over to the JCF by Deputy British High Commissioner to Jamaica – Graham Glover – at a ceremony at the Office of the Commissioner of Police on Hope Road, St Andrew.
