MEMBERS OF the Jamaica Constabulary Force who attended the funeral Sunday of Senior Supt. Lloyd McDonald, who was shot dead on Waterloo Road, Kingston 10, on February 20 by gunmen travelling on a motorcycle, vowed to bring his killers to book.
In a tribute at the Portmore Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 7 Port Henderson Road, Portmore, south-west St. Catherine, Senior Supt. Leon Rose on behalf of the Police Officers' Association, warned criminals that the police would not relent in the fight against crime.
"We will never surrender, we will never give in to criminal activities," SSP Rose said.
He said that those responsible for SSP McDonald would someday meet the same fate.
"For whoever is responsible, they too will die," he said, to resounding applause from members of the JCF at the service.
SSP McDonald was the most senior police officer to have been murdered while on duty and was the third policeman to die at the hands of criminals since the start of 2004.
He was shot dead by two motorcyclists while turning his marked police car on to Waterloo Road from Devon Road.
AN END TO THE MURDER
Sergeant David White, president of the Jamaica Police Federation, called for an end to the murder of police officers. He said that since he was elected president, he had been attending an average of one funeral per month.
He called on Jamaicans to speak out and help the police and called for stiffer penalties for criminals in the society.
