Commissioner of Police Dr Kevin Blake has commended the St Catherine North Police Division after it recorded zero murders in August.
Dr Blake made the commendation while speaking with members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force during a tour of Spanish Town, St Catherine, on Monday.
From January 1 to September 5, the division recorded 23 murders, compared with 65 during the corresponding period in 2025. This represents a 64 per cent decline.
