Monday, July 08, 2013Commissioner of Police Owen Ellington has launched a public appeal to members of the Constabulary which includes regulars, special and district constables, to seek professional help and assistance when confronted by pressuring domestic issues and disputes.Ellington’s plea follows the suspected suicide of Special Constable Richard Laing who was found dead at his home in St Catherine early Saturday morning.“Complicated domestic issues and disputes can be dealt with by trained personnel once detected. Within the JCF, we have a variety of these professionals and I urge members experiencing these situations to come forward and get help. Our Chaplaincy Branch stands ready to assist all those in distress.“It is of utmost importance that the leadership of the Force, at all levels, be vigilant and to address or refer any member who may be suspected of or show signs of distress or depression. Our work is a difficult one and allied with the normal problems of daily life, policemen and women are always at risk. The need is for quick identification of the attendant problems for speedy resolutions. Take your personal affairs seriously, and do not delay in seeking help even as we continue to serve Jamaica,” Ellington advised his members.The commissioner also extended condolence and support to the immediate family members and friends of Special Constable Laing on behalf of the police force.ELLINGTON… take your personal affairs seriously
