KINGSTON, Jamaica — The police on Saturday issued a statement accusing the media of misrepresenting information about a particular case that is now before the Supreme Court.
In the statement the police called on the Press Association of Jamaica to remind journalists about the importance of accuracy adding that if journalists are not more careful, the matter will be reported to the judge in the case.
The statement from the Constabulary Communication Network (CCN) the information arm of the Jamaica Constabulary Force reads:
The Police are expressing serious concerns about the manner in which aspects of media, particularly one radio station are reporting on a case currently before the Supreme Court.
At best, most of the reports are replete with inaccurate information about what transpired in the court.
In a number of instances some of the journalists deliberately sacrificed facts for sensationalism and embellished the stories; by doing so they completely mislead the public about the evidence that is being given in court.
This week alone they reported that the Police are to be blamed for a compact disc that went missing and that 40 cellular phones were seized during the investigation of this particular case.
This information is not accurate and never came out in court yet the media chose to report it as if it was the truth.
The Police are calling on the Press Association of Jamaica (PAJ) to remind journalists of the importance of accurate reporting and truthfulness, particularly in matters of public interest.
If this elevated level of inaccurate reporting continues, the matter will be reported to the judge in the case with a view of taking action against the journalists covering the proceedings.

What are the cops trying to say no missing cd, no cable cutting, tell the public what part ofthe report is wrong. Tell the public and don’t make empty statement not everybody a fool so stop act like unnu want to come cow out this. So for the people dem that run come back the police on this post unnu need to ask questions also and stop being so gullible. I would love the cops to take this to the judge so that we do not know what is going on so that the cops can share the money evenly.
The police commissioner was quoted as saying the report about 40 cell phones were sized was not accurate, it would’ve been a tad absurd to think that FIVE persons had 40 phones amongst themselves and even more absurd to think that none of the 40 phones weren’t registered in their names. They media is playing their part of corrupting peoples minds. He also stated that police are not the ones to be blamed for the missing Cd.
You and the word gullible a close relative so STOP IT!

Don’t you wish you floating piece a shit. That’s why the youth dem need fi use police like you for target practice. And trust if I was a gunman I would be smart enough to know who are the real enemy. Your have some nerves when unnu kill innocent youths nothing comes out of it not even I am sorry we made a mistake. Jamaica need more gunman like Sandoval as if unnu ever stop (eradicating cockroaches). Can’t believe black man a kill black youth and a beat him chest.
If a man put a bullet between your son eyes for no reason how would you feel. I should be a gunman with you in my site and then tell me bitch if you would be saying the same thing you are now.
woe there
