POLICE COMMISSIONER Francis Forbes and members of his team met with Chief Justice Lensley Wolfe on Monday to discuss aspects of the Bail Act and other matters relating to the quality of work done by the police before cases are presented in the courts.

The team included Deputy Commissioners Lucius Thomas and Tilford Johnson, Staff Officer, Assistant Commissioner Charles Scarlett and Information Officer, Superintendent Ionie Ramsay-Nelson.

"We understand what needs to be done. We took the opportunity to ask the Chief Justice if there were any areas of dissatisfaction by the court of judges, with the quality or otherwise of the work of the police in presenting cases," the Commissioner told The Gleaner.

He told journalists last week that he would be meeting with the Chief Justice to discuss issues related to the condition of bail. His concerns were based on reports that a gang members, many of whom are out on bail, were involved in a series of crimes being committed in Spanish Town, St. Catherine, and other areas.

The Commissioner expressed an interest in imposing curfew orders on the rival gang members in an attempt to restrict the movement of persons suspected of being involved in the upsurge in violence in Spanish Town and its environs, which has left 13 people dead and 20 injured since the start of the year.

The security forces are currently maintaining a strong presence in troubled communities.
