At a news conference at the end of 2025, Jamaica’s Commissioner of Police, Dr Kevin Blake, said, “Murders are down by 43 per cent nationally. The ZOSOs were introduced in Jamaica in 2017, building from one then to seven zones in 2022. Government was obviously hoping to replicate the success of the Jamaican experience with ZOSOs and its own success in reducing the number of murders last year. It is, therefore, hoped that the Government has a plan ‘B’ for continuing the battle against the criminal elements in this country. And that T&T does not look back at Tuesday’s misstep as a missed opportunity.
