The Police High Command is moving to assure all persons involved in the Klansman trial that the JCF will maintain a strong security presence for the duration of the matter.
Tensions are reportedly high in sections of the Old Capital, as the reputed leader of a faction of the feared Klansman gang, Andre Bryan, goes on trial for a series of offences, including murder.
But Deputy Commissioner in Charge of Crime, Fitz Bailey, is urging citizens of Spanish Town to remain calm.
Meanwhile, Nationwide News sources say a high-level security operation is now in place to protect all witnesses in the trial.
It’s understood that the majority of the prosecution witnesses are expected to face the accused individuals in the two courtrooms in downtown Kingston.
Up to five of the witnesses could testify remotely via a secure video link.
DCP Bailey says the JCF has deployed sufficient personnel to protect all witnesses and officials involved in the matter.
