I personally have never felt unsafe in Negril or anywhere in Jamaica but for obvious reasons I do follow the same security rules that I do while at home. Given the rise in crime and the ongoing issues with people feeling unsafe, I would welcome the defense force being brought in. I've seen them in Cancun and other Caribbean Islands and while it can be off putting to see them, it certainly does make you feel safer. I work less than a block form the White House and we see armed guards all the time, even snipers on the roofs of buildings.

I agree with Irieonline -- -please don't put them on jet skis!
