Opposition urges Police High Command to deploy community relations teams to Granville, St. James following police fatal shooting on Sunday

Opposition Spokesperson on National Security, Fitz Jackson is urging the Police High Command to deploy community relations teams to Granville, St. James following a police fatal shooting on Sunday.

The incident, which led to the death of 45-year-old Lotoya Bulgin, otherwise called “Buju” of Granville, reportedly occurred while the community was protesting the police fatal shooting of a 17-year-old boy days before.

Mr. Jackson said Bulgin’s death happened at a time when the community is already shaken by grief and anger.

He said the deployment of community relations teams is necessary to de-escalate tensions and reassure residents.
