THE CHAIRMAN of the Police Federation, Corporal Hartley Stewart, says his colleagues have vowed to find the cop killers who remain on the run.
"I can guarantee you that your justice will be swift," he warned on Saturday, while paying tribute at the funeral of Sergeant Errol Brown of the Area One police highway patrol.
"Just recently, three of those responsible for the death of one of our officers were killed by the police in St. Ann. For all the others who are still on the loose, we will find you!" Cpl. Stewart declared.
Hundreds of mourners turned out at the Holy Trinity Church in Westgate, St. James, for the funeral of Sgt. Brown, 52, who was killed at his home in Albion in the parish on December 12. His service pistol was stolen.
Failing grade
Cpl. Stewart also gave the Government and politicians, in general, a failing grade for their bid to take charge of the crime situation.
Earlier, Archbishop Hollis Lynch pressed for hanging to be resumed.
The Minister of National Security, Derrick Smith, who also brought tribute, sought to assure that his administration was committed to properly equipping the police.
Smith was making his third trip to western Jamaica within a week to attend the funeral of a slain policeman. The other funerals were for Sgt. Alan Lindsay and Assistant Commissioner of Police Gilbert Kameka.
