TRELAWNY, Jamaica — Justice Minister Delroy Chuck has sharply rebuked justices of the peace (JPs) who place decals identifying themselves as JPs on the dashboards of their motor vehicles, warning that the practice is unnecessary, improper, and increasingly being exploited by criminals. Noting that the matter undermines law enforcement efforts, the minister said it has become serious enough for him to raise it with Commissioner of Police Dr Kevin Blake. “You have criminals now buying [decals used by JPs] and putting them in their vehicles; and when the police stop them, they point to it hoping the police won’t search them,” the minister said during a commissioning ceremony for 19 new JPs in Trelawny on Friday.

KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Jamaica Customs Agency (JCA) is reporting an emerging synthetic drug threat within Jamaica’s border environment, with an increase in MDMA/ecstasy detections between January 2024 up to June 5, 2026. In a statement on Wednesday, the agency said during the period under review, the JCA detected a cumulative total of 34,292 Ecstasy/MDMA tablets and pills. Noting that while the number of detections remains relatively low when compared to traditional narcotics such as cocaine and marijuana, customs highlighted that the quantity of tablets per shipment and the emergence of recurring detections indicate the diversification of transnational criminal activity and the growing exposure of Jamaica to international synthetic drug supply chains.

Recently inducted into the prestigious Edward A Bouchet Graduate Honor Society at Yale University, Kayonne Christy is quick to deflect attention away from herself. For her, the recognition is not a solitary achievement; instead it is the culmination of years of guidance, encouragement, and belief from mentors who helped to shape her.
