Police Commissioner Owen Ellington has ordered the immediate interdiction of the policeman who was involved in an altercation with a CVM cameraman on Saturday, July 3, in St Ann, pending the outcome of an investigation that has been launched into the matter.

The policeman has been identified as Special Constable Ricardo Lewis of the Mobile Reserve. The action was deemed necessary as a result of questionable behaviour on the part of the police officer while on duty at the scene of a fatal shooting in St Ann.

Commissioner Ellington is reminding all members of the force of the need to conduct themselves with the highest level of integrity and professionalism, so that the Jamaica Constabulary Force can continue to enjoy much-needed support from the public it serves.
