The Jamaica Umbrella Groups of Churches (JUGC) and Watchman Church Leaders Alliance (WCLA) are urging the government to clarify its stance and establish a timeline for the implementation of body-worn cameras for police officers. They've also requested a national dialogue involving civil society, the Independent Commission of Investigation (INDECOM), the church, the Ministry of National Security, and JCF leadership. This call comes amid a surge in police-involved fatalities, prompting concerns about public trust and the need for a consistent national security approach. The groups highlight a perceived discrepancy between statements made by Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness and Minister of National Security Dr. Horace Chang regarding the use of body cameras. While the Prime Minister has expressed support, the Minister has voiced reservations, citing concerns about practicality and officer safety. The groups emphasize that transparency is essential for effective policing, arguing that increased oversight is needed to address the high rate of fatalities. They believe that a lack of clarity fosters suspicion and widens the divide between the police and the public.
