Following Commissioner of Police George Quallo’s announced that he would be going on pre-retirement leave, Jamaicans have launched a petition to replace him with retired crime fighter Reneto Adams.
In the description posted on change.org, the creator stated that 1,617 Jamaicans were murdered in 2017, so they are calling on the Police Service Commission to appoint Reneto Adams, while pointing out that one person can’t solve the nation’s crime problem.
“Jamaicans are urging and begging the five member-led Police Service Commission, please for once to think outside the box by selecting Reneto Adams as our next police chief. He will boost police morale which is very lacking now. He’s an outside the box person who will find ways to dramatically reduce crime.”
The controversial petition has already secured over 3,860 of it’s 5,000 signatures.
Adams has signalled a desire to be the man in charge of the Jamaica Constabulary Force on numerous occasions in recent times. The 64-year-old recently stated that all he needed was 6 months to solve Jamaica’s crime wave.
