Adams slams Police High Command
published: Tuesday | April 20, 2004

By Glenroy Sinclair, Staff Reporter

SENIOR SUPERINTENDENT of Police Reneto Adams, the former head of the disbanded Crime Management Unit (CMU), yesterday lashed out at members of the Police High Command, dubbing them as a "total failure" and that they are just as "dangerous as the common criminals".

SSP Adams was responding to a letter addressed to him yesterday by the Police High Command, warning him that it would be a breach of Section 69 of the Jamaica Constabulary Force Act, if he was caught inciting demonstrators when he appears in the Supreme Court tomorrow in downtown Kingston.

A section of the letter said: "Emanating from the ruling of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), reliable information has been received from sources in the Corporate Area suggesting that you have been actively encouraging persons to print T-shirts with your photographs, which you supplied to them. It is further suggested that the shirts will be worn in a demonstration on the day of court. Be advised that such preparatory action is likely to result in your coming in conflict with section 69 of the JCF Act, which prohibits any member from engaging in acts that will bring the Force into disrepute".

Speaking on 'Nationwide' on Power 106 yesterday, SSP Adams denied being involved in the allegations mentioned in the letter.

Mr. Adams and five rank and file officers were ruled charged with four counts of murder for the May 7, 2003, controversial killing in Kraal, Clarendon.

The police had reported that members of the CMU went to Kraal in search of wanted men. The police said they came under fire and that they returned the fire, leaving the four persons dead.
