Ex-soldiers urge Jamaicans to cooperate with police

The Ex-Soldiers Association is calling for Jamaicans to cooperate with the security forces in their crime fighting initiatives.

The call comes in the wake of yesterday’s shooting death of retired senior superintendent of police Anthony ‘Tony' Hewitt.

President of the association, Michael Blake, said the time has come for members of the public to take the country’s crime problem seriously before it reaches their doorstep.

He is also urging law enforcement authorities to pursue criminals with the same vigour in which the perpetrators commit their crimes.
