Each presentation highlighted the Force’s commitment to modern policing, efficient crime-fighting strategies, and meaningful engagement with Jamaican communities, especially young people.
There were also performances and activities, such as canine demonstrations, a physical education and drill showcase by the SWAT team, and an evening concert.
