So glad to hear all of these strategies being considered. Can you clarify a few points?

How does the garbage impact security? I love cleaning it up and having better recycling processes but wonder if you can explain the link to security and violence?

Has there been any consideration to placing cameras at a key point going up to West End or entering from the Kingston side?

Would it even be possible for the police to place arms at those entrance points that could block the road immediately after violence is reported?

Are the Security Wardens local residents who volunteer for this position? How can one monitor who signs up for those positions to assure they will not be 'bought off?'

Negril never had this problem when most of the people in the town were FROM Negril. Accompong does not let anyone in without registering to be there and approved based on purpose. This seems like a difficult process but it might be worth it for a year or two until criminals get the idea they cannot 'sneak' into Negril. Of course, taxi's, registered transports, etc would not have to register each time they enter and leave but private vehicles would be required to stop and register. I guess there would need to be too many checkpoints? entrances from Sav, MoBay, Kingston? Or to expedite, one could buy a tag that goes in the window of car and a camera at entrance point can see the registered tag as they come through. I dont have this fully vetted out but not sure some part of this couldn't be instituted.

Again, I have a vested interest in seeing Negril remain the beautiful and peaceful community it once was. The other point is to reduce the amount of development (big hotels, etc) until more security is instituted and proven.

Thanks for all the Negril businesses are doing.
