The Commissioner of Police in Jamaica, Owen Ellington, says a planned approach is being taken to the resolution of the impasse created by the extradition request for Christopher Dudus Coke.
Ellington says the main effort at executing the arrest warrant will be directed from the Police High Command and all police formations will be advised of their required levels of participation, when and if necessary.
The High Command is also reminding members of the force to refrain from commenting publicly on the matter, while the security forces pursue a unified and professional approach to a resolution.
The Commissioners statement was transmitted to members of the Constabulary Force, the Island Special Constabulary Force and the rural police last night.
The Police High Command is also reporting that it has uncovered some very sinister plans by gunmen in Tivoli Gardens, who are seeking to block the security forces from entering the community.
According to the police, gunmen have placed tyres atop the roof of several high-rise buildings in Tivoli Gardens and are also storing gasoline nearby.
The police believe the intention is to start massive fires on top of these buildings to ward off helicopters.
However, in an attempt at a peaceful resolution, the Police High Command says it has written to a number of attorneys who they believe to be part of Mr Cokes defense team.
The Gleaner/Power 106 News Centre understands that in those letters the police have proposed that Dudus turn himself in, on the condition that bail will be granted.
Dudus is wanted in the United States on guns and drugs charges.
