  • Cops shot by cops in kidnap saga

    Members of the Organised Crime Investigation Division (OCID) are fuming after two of their colleagues were shot and seriously injured by officers from the Clarendon Police Division.

    The drama unfolded early Friday morning.

    The two undercover cops were part of an OCID team setting a trap for kidnappers who had abducted the 16-year old daughter of a Clarendon doctor earlier this week.

    Members of the Clarendon Police who were unaware of OCID's operation inadvertently shot the cops who were on the rescue operation in a heavily forested section of the parish.

    Sources told RJR News that one of the injured cops was on the phone coordinating the rescue plan when he came under a hail of bullets from the Clarendon cops.

    One of the cops was shot in the abdomen.

    It is understood that the action of the Clarendon Police has outraged their OCID colleagues who argued that the policemen did not follow the rules of engagement when they opened fire on the two undercover cops.

    Highly placed sources told RJR News that in the chaos caused by the shooting, the kidnappers escaped with their $1 million ransom.

    The 16-year old school girl who was kidnapped on Wednesday is safely back home with her family.

    One suspect is now in custody in connection with the kidnapping.

    In the meantime, there are growing concerns that the police are losing the battle to curb the rise in kidnappings in Jamaica.

    Over the past four weeks, the Organised Crime Unit has been called in to deal with four cases of kidnappings.

    The kidnappers have been targeting wealthy families.

    The police have reportedly taken a decision not to discuss the rash of kidnappings in order to prevent panic among the business class.

    Last year, kidnappers collected more than $15 million in ransom money.

    "It is understood that the action of the Clarendon Police has outraged their OCID colleagues who argued that the policemen did not follow the rules of engagement when they opened fire on the two undercover cops."

    If it was regular civilians we'd be hearing how they opened fire on the police who returned fire. How many of us here would be chanting BUD afterwards?

      The Clarendon cops should be commended. For all they knew they were preventing a kidnapping

        OCID should have

        i) Informed the Clarendon division of the operation. It's a fundamental rule of policing that you don't operate in someone's back yard without telling them about it. There is always the risk the the criminals will be tipped off by the local police but there is always the risk that the outside cops will be shot.

        ii) Take an honest member of the Clarendon division on the operation.

        iii) Monitor the communications channel of Area 3 (includes Clarendon) and stop any unexpected deployment to the target area.
        The same type of thinking that created a problem cannot be used to solve the problem.

                    Cho, I understand 'runnings' but all HQ cops know that you have to have a plan to protect yourself from the local cops because the inexperience ones who want to make their first duppy will shoot first and ask questions later. If you don't trust them then you have to monitor the channel and stop any dispatch to the target area. If you heard a disptach then you dont have to give any explanation, just tell them to turn around.

                      Shoot first is exactly the problem that needs addressing.

                        Time what you're saying makes sense ... however, after telling them to turn around, how would you know that a policeman in league with the criminals wouldn't call them and tell them to beware?
