Gregory Park gets new mobile police station to enhance security
Vanassa McKenzie / Our Today
Member of Parliament for East Central, St Catherine Alando Terrelonge has announced that a new mobile police station has been situated in the Gregory Park community.
The mobile station is strategically located near Gulf and Cottage Drive in Gregory Park, an area that has been troubled by acts of violence in recent times.
“This development represents our government’s unwavering commitment to the safety and security
of our citizens. It demonstrates a government that listens to the concerns of its people, that values
their safety as a priority, and that refuses to let fear and violence dictate the course of our future,” he said.
Terrelonge gave the update during his contribution to the state of constituency debate in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, November 12.
He also acknowledged the work of Minister of National Security, Horace Chang, Senior Superintendent of Police Christopher Phillips and the team of officers at the St Catherine South Police Division who worked tirelessly to get the mobile police post up and running.
“The new post symbolises a community-centred approach to crime fighting, fostering a culture where police officers work alongside residents, listen, engage and build the trust needed to create lasting peace. By empowering both our citizens and law enforcement, we are creating a unified front against crime. In a community like Gregory Park, which has long faced its share of challenges, this station will serve as a beacon of reassurance, signalling that no community is forgotten, and no concern goes unheard. It is an investment in a safer, more resilient Gregory Park, a place where families can thrive, businesses can grow, and children can play without fear,“ Terrelonge said.
