Meanwhile they also give cars the good once over too looking in trunks, under seats etc. Pain in the butt for the law abiding people , but meant for everyone's good in the end.

No and thanks.

There is a growing sentiment in Negril and also in my country district that this must stop.

One way or another we will stop this s**t.

Fairly well stated with some proper call outs. I too have not seen the "courtesy corps officers" (tourist police) do anything of value, most just walk down the beach at a snail's pace with the occasional stop to BS with someone. Outside of given the random tourist a little peace of mind, the investment in their presence is suspect.

I was on the same beach as Jojo in April, with her at times, and have a different perspective. I saw more cops in uniform walking the beach this trip than I recall in all other trips combined. Outside of a road block I do not recall seeing much of a police presence anywhere else. You do see the cops on the West End at night, driving with their flashing lights and closing places down.

It is going to take a huge investment in officers and resources to make a dent in the activity of the thugs. The officials better get on it quick as tourist dollars will simply go elsewhere.

Another news item... not about the murder specifically but about attempts to make resort areas more secure.

This really hits me in the gut, could have very easily been my wife and myself. Just stayed a stones throw from that spot 2 weeks ago, and walked the road often. Will definitely influence my decisions of future travel. We did have a hard time sleeping a few nights, constant loud motorcycle traffic late at night. As much as I love visiting Negril, I will not be back soon, if at all, because of this.

Negril Chamber of Commerce posted excellent letter today on FB. Hope it gets the attention it deserves.
