Personally would like to see more than less ...
We just returned from Negril yesterday, and I concur that it was nice to see an increased police presence. Even hanging out on the West End, it was not uncommon to see the police pickup truck or jeep driving down one of the lanes. I also noticed a dramatic decrease in motorcycles after the effort to impound illegal ones. The bikes I did see appeared to be legal (i.e. without the loud mufflers) and obeying most traffic laws. It was refreshing to see motorcycles out numbered by scooters! I also saw a couple roadblocks, where the police were checking documentation on the red plates. I stood outside the Mirage waiting 10 minutes for a route taxi, wondering where the heck they all were!
The beach was nice too. I was bothered a few times, but much less than usual. Only a couple hustlers and the regular vendors weren't too much of an annoyance (I shouldn't have to tell the Ciiiigarette Man 3 times that I don't smoke).

Whag'on by HiLo?
There hasnt been much verifiable news about the incident at Sunshine Village parking lot where Hi-Lo is located, RJR carried the story in the following link:

Investigators have ruled out robbery as the motive.
Negril.com - For the vacation that never ends!
Sad and scary. Just my point of view, of course.
Good to hear no complaints about increased security .......................... we were afraid of all the stories with the overbearing soldiers
Police on foot in small groups still happening on Westend and increase patrolling the roads. More on beach but some NOT visible....continued efforts as we need. Frequent road stops to verify whos coming through.....I support all efforts. I will be attending the monthly Resort and Tourist Board to get updates. Nurse Beth
