Local narcotics police in Jamaica have reported a significant increase in cocaine seizures over the past six months, surpassing the total amount seized in the previous decade. Superintendent Patrae Rowe, the Director of the Firearms and Narcotics Division of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, shared this information during a press briefing on Tuesday.
According to Superintendent Rowe, the total value of the illegal drugs confiscated since January 1, 2026, has exceeded $3 billion Jamaican dollars. This figure is notable as it surpasses the funding allocated to various line items in the national budget.
The increase in drug seizures highlights ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat drug trafficking and related criminal activities in the country. The Jamaica Constabulary Force continues to focus on enhancing their operations to address the challenges posed by narcotics and ensure public safety.
Further details regarding the specific operations and strategies employed by the police to achieve these results were not disclosed during the briefing. The police force remains committed to tackling drug-related issues as part of their broader mandate to maintain law and order in Jamaica.
