Missing Person policy Change
The police must be congratulated in working to change the missing person policy. Before the change it required that a person must be missing for more that 24 hours before a report could be made and the police could take action.
The family of Jamie-lue Chin had who was killed in December knew something was wrong but they were told the police had to wait 24 hours.
Now once the person is missing from a place(s) of frequency for more that an usual time and no contact has been made, the matter can be reported to the police who will now act.
This is a definite step in the right direction. The police are asking that once persons show up though that the complainants t inform them of this so that those persons can be removed from the list. There were over 1500 missing persons in Jamaica in 2005.
