The police have announced additional security support systems for returning residents.

This against the background of several recent incidents against returning residents.

Just last Friday, 74-year-old returning resident Halford Anderson and his wife, 71-year-old British national Florence Anderson  were murdered in Portland.

In a statement, the Jamaica Constabulary Force says the safety and security of returning residents remains, a high priority of the police.

It says among the measures being pursued are the establishment of a point of contact for the diaspora to address specific concerns about cases; and background checks on the persons who returning residents wish to employ.

A liaison officer will also be appointed in each police division to monitor and provide returning residents with timely feedback on policing matters.

Additionally, meetings will be held regularly at the divisional level to enhance the sharing of important information.

The statement says, a number of investigative strategies will be employed to pay particular attention to cases involving returning residents.
