Like all law abiding citizens of Jamaica, members of the PSOJ deeply and sincerely regret the loss of lives of, and injuries sustained by, innocent Jamaicans who may have been caught in the crossfire, as well as those brave members of the security forces who have paid the ultimate price as they have engaged with criminal elements, particularly over the past week.
