SOE Update - Firemon - 09-16-2019 [b]The recent removal of the military checkpoint that had been in place in Orange Bay, Hanover, since the start of the triparish state of public emergency (SOE) is not going down well with residents, who are questioning the decision. [/b] [b]Seen as one of the parish’s major hotspots, Orange Bay, which is located on the main thoroughfare between Lucea and the resort town of Negril, is viewed as one of the areas migrating criminals are most likely to use to get around the region. In fact, statistics provided by the police show that after the checkpoint was established in Orange Bay, the area saw a significant reduction in criminal activities.[/b] [b]“That is the checkpoint that was perfectly positioned to prevent Orange Bay from becoming volatile again, as well as prevent the free flow of criminals into places like Negril,” noted one councillor.
