Drones technology at sea will work to help locate illegal weapons. hire more marine police,use the soldiers to help the police. Use high definition digital scanners at the whalf and employ more workers, lace the place with cameras. Make sure every Jamaican has a national identification card .. everyone ought to be in the national database and watch the crime rate drop drastically.
They have Jamaica eye, marine unit to protect our borders, and all modern technology, and they can't reduce crime. What gives you that false hope that they will reduce it now?
@JamCan6322 well, evidently the Jamaica eye is not working,too many migrants reached land and the Jamaica eye were nowhere to be found. We have a tiny border, if the government focuses on the whalf and sea ,the same way he focuses on building roads we will see the reduction.
Jamcan ,well said.However, I don’t agree with You that Jamaicans are not educated.The problem is the scammers, the gangs, the both of these groups that don’t want to work, these are the same people that are hit men. The government got to provide jobs for its citizens.I keep posting that the government needs to build new schools, infrastructures such as offices, medical centers, police stations etc.The police do need the cameras, the vest and the government should give them a car.There’s an incident that happened last week on Windward Road where those three young men lost their lives at the hand of the police.After Indecom did their investigation, their recommendation is that two of the cops should be arrested.The prime minister needs to step down and we need new leaders that have morals and integrity to serve.

I would agree wholeheartedly. I have supported the UIC for about 2-3 years. I wish Jamaicans would wise up and stop this madness that has been going on. From top to bottom, the lawless want crime to continue for many reasons, crime and killing put money in their pockets.
This 3rd party needs to try harder to convince people. They need to try another angle. you can't just put out 2 or 3 hour live streams and expect Jamaicans to come on board. They need to spruce things up. And they need to stop complaining about how the media is not paying attention when they clearly don't want to give them any air play. When they get more creative, then we'll listen.
In today’s Gleaner, there is an article describing the Minister of Health, Christoper Tufton saying he has been bawling out-Very frustrated, demotivated, stressed and worn out as he struggles to get the healthcare system off life support. One example given was a brand new air conditioning system installed at Savannah La Mar public hospital last year, and today the entire system is not operating. If a MP, a health minister can feel like this, what does this say about our system? We expect leaders like him to lead the way in fixing things, but clearly he is one person and as humans we have physical and mental limits.
@@gbb82 You heard told a lie on a company who had installed the said system at the children hospital in Kingston. The company ceo came on air and rubbish that incompetent masquerading buff^^n assertions. I will wager what is occurring in save is caused by the same feckeries that happened in Kingston!
It’s a viscous cycle, where do you start? There are not enough enforcement institutions to maintain good order and discipline. The prisons are deplorable, the courtroom buildings are falling apart, it takes months, years for cases to be adjudicated. The police stations, schools, libraries, hospitals are in a bad condition. There is a large skills deficit; industries badly need skilled Jamaicans, but they don’t exist, so now they are bringing in construction workers to build hotels and other projects. Most young Jamaicans lack the basic discipline to show up to work on time and not be on their cell phones all day. The population is so indisciplined. You can’t lock up law breakers on a mass basis like in El Salvador, there are not enough prisons to put them. Lastly, the leaders, CEO’s and managers in Jamaica are so arrogant and self-absorbed. They are obsessed with their titles, and their response to any criticism or complaint is to demand an apology. They are apathetic, and very glib with making excuses. Many of them engage in so much criminal activity, and the populace see this as a good example to follow. Where do you start?
Honestly, GB, I don't know where to start. The system is designed to maintain the same old delapulated standards and the old slavery mindset. Someone or a few want it that way, and everyone has to fall in line.
Good statement, we have too much innocent judges in Jamaica, they are not serious about fighting crime and violence, we must remember that our leaders are lame duckling, and Jamaica is a fail state, there is no leader in Jamaica that is fit for purpose or capable to bring back Jamaicans in line with law, discipline and order.
0:14 The crime is really getting out of hand it is really bad,and no one cares,we have a sleeping minister of security,and he is a real joker,just smiling and sleeping
The best crime fighting metod we will ever have is sports, create more inter school sports when the nids is fully implimented it too will be another crime fighting tool.
Well, Rwanda implemented sports, but that's not the casino reason for crime reduction. There main reason is culture busting, and make leaders more accountable. El Salvador went straight for the gangs and corrupt politicians. Jamaica's crime problems are manufactured from the top, the management class. So how sports and NIDS going to fix that
Bredda, in spirit, I agree with you but see things from a different angle in the following ways: 1. As you know, back In 2022, the government passed a long-delayed law making minimum 15-year sentences mandatory for anyone caught with a firearm so our "trustworthy" judges can't -take bribes and- give sentencing discounts anymore. I am not JCF but, with homicide down 10% last year and 20% this year, I suspect the updated firearms law is one of the main reasons for what will hopefully be a trend. My concern is Delroy Chuck trying to -amend- water down the law by lowering the minimum sentence if the illegal firearm holder pleads guilty. He claims its to reduce backlogs in the courts. I don't believe him. Do you? 2. Your comment about lack of ballistic vests has me scratching my head. I'm sure I read somewhere that each officer is equipped with his own vest and I can't remember seeing any without vests on the street lately but, now that you mention it, I will look more closely now. The JCF have become far better equipped than they once were. They have new vehicles/motorcycles, they all have rifles dangling from their chests, they all seem to have vests when they're on the street and even their uniforms seem newer and cleaner. Have you been home recently? I suspect the clips where you're seeing them without vests are from situations where they're not likely to need them. 3. When you talk about the population being indisciplined, I hope you're including the leaders too. 4. Also on indiscipline, a couple of years ago, my neighbor wound up in jail for verbally abusing a police officer. This is a gainfully-employed man who learned about new laws passed protecting officers from verbal abuse the hard way. 5. I agree that Jamaica needs a third party focused on good public policy (not silly politics) to gain enough seats to prevent either the JLP or PNP from gaining a majority. That way, JLP/PNP would have to form coalitions which might prevent them from doing too much damage. But, I'm not sure UIC is the answer. 6. We can't do what El Salvador did. In El Salvador, the gangs all tattooed themselves making members ridiculously easy to identify and it is well-known that members had to murder someone to enter the gang. In other words, it was easy for the police to identify members (who must have committed murder to become gang members) and justifiably detain them. That could not work in Jamaica. Also, in El Salvador, the gangs may rise again but next generation will be smart enough not to make themselves so easily identifiable. It's still early innings for El Salvador. 7. In the previous 6 points, I only see things from a different perspective than you. In this one, I directly oppose you. Calling on Jamaica's elites to fund a third party is foolhardy. They have never had Jamaica's best interests at heart and never will. They treat politics as a business; not a nation-building, living-standard raising public service. Bad idea bredrin.
@@MakingSenseOfJamaica Point #7 is spot on. The elites only see politics for themselves and not nation building. I will not make that mistake your neighbor made. Getting locked up is too much trouble in Jamaica.
@MakingSenseOfJamaicPoint taken, however, I cited Elon Musk as a viable example that not all elites are bad. But, due to the ineptitude of the masses, we need one with a moral compass to step forward and finance the change. I understand that the full rationale of self-interest, but the inability to change is more dangerous for the whole. Yes, there might be some police officers with ballistic vests, but a large percentage don't have. The influx of "imitation looking" British police cars should not be adopted in Jamaica. The last time I checked, there were not enough police cars because Robert Montague couldn't account for the $450 million that was given to him to buy them. The reduction of 10 & 20% in homicide is a drop in the bucket. The inception of gangs within the school shows a societal problem and a revolving pipeline that can erupt at anytime and override the small gains. As President Trump takes office, let's see where Jamaica goes. El Salvador, from your point cannot work, but from my vantage point, it can work. All it need is the right leader who is willing to make it happen. I believe you should step forward into that role.
@@JamCan6322 I see Musk as someone, who having grown up in an apartheid regime, seemingly has no compunctions about supporting Trump who gets undying support from white nationalists; a group I once lived in fear of. I suppose we differ on that too. As for someone with a moral compass to finance a third party, it’s a possibility but it seems like a dreamy one to me. In today’s Jamaica, a wealthy individual who could finance a viable third party is more likely to be amoral than moral. Maybe a better approach would be to use platforms like this one to educate the masses on public policy decisions as Sir P has done on crime with his channel. This is not the first time I’ve reasoned with other Jamaicans who want overnight results on crime. Most of the time, they are Jamaicans who live abroad. Taking shortcuts often leads to disastrous results in the long run. Our outrageously high homicide rate embarrasses us all but it didn’t happen overnight. By the same token, I don’t expect it to be reduced overnight. I suspect (or maybe I’m just hoping) that while the declines of the past two years may only be “a drop in the bucket”, we may also be the beginning of a long-term trend caused by various factors. Regarding the JCF, I’m pretty sure I read an article in the Observer within the past couple of years by Jason McKay about how, when he started in the force, he had to buy his own ballistic vest. He then wrote that all JCF members are now issued them. I’m not crazy about McKay or the work that he’s doing but have no reason not to believe him when he publishes in a national newspaper. In the future, I’ll keep a closer eye on whether or not they’re protected and maybe ask one if I get a chance. I’m not sure what you mean by British police cars but I’m hoping and praying for Montague to follow Shaw and not stand for reelection. Please hope and pray with me. You know, one of the main reasons I watch your channel is because of Rwanda. If I can make a contribution to their society, I would like to retire there in a few years too.
4:37 Same old arguments about solving crime. These socio-economic goals are always long-term. So, what do you do in the short term? El Salvador took a very aggressive approach militarizing against gangs and crushing them (President Bukele). It was after filling up the prisons and cleaning the streets, that these socio-economic goals could be better achieved. So, I'm not too convinced of what is the best "forward" route, especially that to educate and socialize a civilization will take at least a 10 year investment in the youths. While that is going, how do you address the elements within the communities of these youths that are working against your investment?
There is no Bukele in Jamaica, so imagining that Ja can emulate El Salvador is a futile dream. Bukele worked his way up through local political offices to get on the inside, and get know and respected by voters, kept his integrity, then made his move.
You may be right but who's going to fix it pnp with peter pumpkin 🎃 who was on TV crying asking God for Devin intervention....saying he couldn't manage! And back then gun men used to be in 30s now they are teenagers.
Finally, a basic body cam costs US$50 - US$100 while a light protection bullet-proof vests costs US$300 to US$500. You wear glasses. So, I'm assuming you're a reading type of guy that is financially literate. Do the math and see what is easier to sign off on? (thousands of cheap cameras or thousands of light protection vests?)
Very true, based on the same logic, you're saying that a police life is not worth it. Therefore, let's handcuff him with body cameras while the wolves dem slap him weh.
Indiscipline is correct for sure but we from the outside goes back home and develop the same attitude. We Jamaican (not all) only are discipline in foreign countries. We give so much advices away from the country and fail to try to formula an influence center in our country with other like minded Jamaican in and out of the country. Same cry😢 every day and years after years. Let's do what JFK side ' ask not what you're country can do but what you can do for your country ". Crime rate are high but less than previous year. Check the fact 😢😢😢please. Elsalvador is not Jamaica. Yes, some methods can be implemented but are we ready for it. Let be true to ourselves and stop preaching. Yes, you may have some good points but action speaks louder than work.
With your logic, no action should be taken to resolve the unstable situation in Haiti. Instead all supporting nations should just send money to educate and socialize people while the gangs run havoc. Now body cam is just part of the equipment for intelligence and reporting. Jamaica has several institutions to hold police accountable because of a history of extrajudicial killings in Jamaica, which is the reason for Jamaica for Justice and INDECOM. So, you're reasoning is lacking a lot of history and context.
Oh Lord, the Jamaican government and accountability should not be in the same sentence. Haiti's situation is by design (check out my various videos on it), and Haitian meddling by outside powers if for the resources. Do your research
You're a PNP sympathizer obviously yes crime hasn't been brought to the levels desired, the body cams are needed based on complaints and perceived acts of police excesses let's not forget that from where you are sitting we get most of our guns from US shores. This year if it continues will bring a record low in violent crimes as recorded in the past few years....let's not forget the fact that most of our murders are caused by Gangs inflicting losses on gangs. POLICE are fitted with ballistic vests even in the pictures you've shown the officers were wearing ballistic vests. Our culture needs fixing but government alone can't fix it your ranting emphasize what's wrong with Jamaica always complaining about everything that is being done to try to fix it....El Salvador is a great example of how to use the similar strategies we have at our disposal you actually said exactly what you're about and it's to try and get a new government in your rants were not about fixing the crime your real intentions are playing politics and that's the sad part...why not tell us how our actions are impacted by our almighty neighbors who fund these different bodies that restrict our crime fighting ventures....we have been doing what el Salvador did but one thing is right our population doesn't want to change we curse the soe and the party in opposition has fought tooth and nails to resist the soes
First and foremost, you're not watched most of my videos. I don't support either parties (PNP & JLP). You're saying the people don't want change. How can they when they are socially-engineered to be buffoons. We elect governments to protect the population, and when the government keeps failing, we have to replace them. But when you create a society that indiscipline and dunce culture is celebrated, then you get a failed society. Therefore, Jamaican leaders don't need to ask the people to change, they must change them, and one thing i know for sure, "the only way you can change such a people is through force, therefore, get a leader like Bukele."
SO QUSTION BIG MAN IF ALL THESE INDISCIPLINE PPL DEH A FARRIN HOW COME FOREIGN NAH DISCIPLINE DEM.. YOUR VIDEOS USE TO MAKE SENSE NOW U JUST LOOKING CLOUT

SO YOU A ONE A THEM JAMAICAN WHO IS NOT A DEEP THINKER, COME HERE LITTLE, TER TER WE WANT ALL JAMAICANS TO FEEL SAFE NOT JUST TOURIST.
@august9006 Amen and Amen
How you come about classifying the police in Jamaica as the finest the way I see they treat Law Abiding Citizen there's nothing Finance about them
It's a borrowed term from the Americans
Non of the parties is good
Trust me
Dr. 28 , not Holness 😮😮😮😮😅
4:37 Same old arguments about solving crime. These socio-economic goals are always long-term. So, what do you do in the short term? El Salvador took a very aggressive approach militarizing against gangs and crushing them (President Bukele). It was after filling up the prisons and cleaning the streets, that these socio-economic goals could be better achieved. So, I'm not too convinced of what is the best "forward" route, especially that to educate and socialize a civilization will take at least a 10 year investment in the youths. While that is going, how do you address the elements within the communities of these youths that are working against your investment?
El Salvador clamp down is a start. If you take everything into consideration, you'll never start.
There is no Bukele in Jamaica, so imagining that Ja can emulate El Salvador is a futile dream. Bukele worked his way up through local political offices to get on the inside, and get know and respected by voters, kept his integrity, then made his move.
@faithm2535 We must never lose hope, Faith. Sir. P is a shining example that not all are on the take
@@JamCan6322 yes, but SirP is married to anonymity, so he has innate limits
You may be right but who's going to fix it pnp with peter pumpkin 🎃 who was on TV crying asking God for Devin intervention....saying he couldn't manage! And back then gun men used to be in 30s now they are teenagers.
Finally, a basic body cam costs US$50 - US$100 while a light protection bullet-proof vests costs US$300 to US$500. You wear glasses. So, I'm assuming you're a reading type of guy that is financially literate. Do the math and see what is easier to sign off on? (thousands of cheap cameras or thousands of light protection vests?)
Very true, based on the same logic, you're saying that a police life is not worth it. Therefore, let's handcuff him with body cameras while the wolves dem slap him weh.
A BODY CAMERA PLUS A FUNERAL IS MUCH MORE THAN A BULLET PROOF VEST. COME ON JAMAICA WE NEED TO DO THE DEEP THINKING ROUND HERE.
Indiscipline is correct for sure but we from the outside goes back home and develop the same attitude. We Jamaican (not all) only are discipline in foreign countries. We give so much advices away from the country and fail to try to formula an influence center in our country with other like minded Jamaican in and out of the country. Same cry😢 every day and years after years. Let's do what JFK side ' ask not what you're country can do but what you can do for your country ". Crime rate are high but less than previous year. Check the fact 😢😢😢please. Elsalvador is not Jamaica. Yes, some methods can be implemented but are we ready for it. Let be true to ourselves and stop preaching. Yes, you may have some good points but action speaks louder than work.
@@Tinnaray360 Very good points shared.
With your logic, no action should be taken to resolve the unstable situation in Haiti. Instead all supporting nations should just send money to educate and socialize people while the gangs run havoc. Now body cam is just part of the equipment for intelligence and reporting. Jamaica has several institutions to hold police accountable because of a history of extrajudicial killings in Jamaica, which is the reason for Jamaica for Justice and INDECOM. So, you're reasoning is lacking a lot of history and context.
Oh Lord, the Jamaican government and accountability should not be in the same sentence. Haiti's situation is by design (check out my various videos on it), and Haitian meddling by outside powers if for the resources. Do your research

Andrew nor Mark Golding are no good for jamaica believe me i am a ex
I do
MR JOSEPH PATTERSON IS
Sup'm yu a try.
You're a PNP sympathizer obviously yes crime hasn't been brought to the levels desired, the body cams are needed based on complaints and perceived acts of police excesses let's not forget that from where you are sitting we get most of our guns from US shores. This year if it continues will bring a record low in violent crimes as recorded in the past few years....let's not forget the fact that most of our murders are caused by Gangs inflicting losses on gangs. POLICE are fitted with ballistic vests even in the pictures you've shown the officers were wearing ballistic vests. Our culture needs fixing but government alone can't fix it your ranting emphasize what's wrong with Jamaica always complaining about everything that is being done to try to fix it....El Salvador is a great example of how to use the similar strategies we have at our disposal you actually said exactly what you're about and it's to try and get a new government in your rants were not about fixing the crime your real intentions are playing politics and that's the sad part...why not tell us how our actions are impacted by our almighty neighbors who fund these different bodies that restrict our crime fighting ventures....we have been doing what el Salvador did but one thing is right our population doesn't want to change we curse the soe and the party in opposition has fought tooth and nails to resist the soes
First and foremost, you're not watched most of my videos. I don't support either parties (PNP & JLP). You're saying the people don't want change. How can they when they are socially-engineered to be buffoons. We elect governments to protect the population, and when the government keeps failing, we have to replace them.
But when you create a society that indiscipline and dunce culture is celebrated, then you get a failed society. Therefore, Jamaican leaders don't need to ask the people to change, they must change them, and one thing i know for sure, "the only way you can change such a people is through force, therefore, get a leader like Bukele."
IF U WANT LOSE YOUR FANS CALL HIM DR ONE MORE TIME
SO QUSTION BIG MAN IF ALL THESE INDISCIPLINE PPL DEH A FARRIN HOW COME FOREIGN NAH DISCIPLINE DEM.. YOUR VIDEOS USE TO MAKE SENSE NOW U JUST LOOKING CLOUT
