About 5 years ago my sister in law(light skinned) and her fiance were there and made the mistake of leaving the resort. She got cat called by all sorts of dusty shady looking dudes and her fiance wasn’t about to try and fight them. They had to hide in a convenience store until the dudes left.

On December 6, 2022, the Jamaican government has reinstated the state of emergency in the following parishes due to increased violence and gang-related crimes :

  • Clarendon
  • Hanover
  • sections of Kingston
  • sections of St Andrew
  • St Ann
  • St Catherine
  • St James
  • Westmoreland
The state of emergency will be in effect until December 19, 2022. During this period, security forces have increased rights to conduct searches, seizures, and detain persons of interest.

If you are travelling in the affected areas, you may be subject to searches by security forces.

  • Always cooperate with military and police officers
  • Carry valid ID at all times and be prepared for various checkpoints
  • Allow extra time to reach your destination
  • Follow the instructions of local authorities
  • Monitor local news to stay informed on the current situation

Violent crime​

Violent crime, including armed robbery and murder, is a problem in large cities and tourist areas, including parts of Kingston and Montego Bay, despite the presence of police to counter criminal activity. The availability of firearms is widespread, and most violent drug- and gang-related crimes, especially murder, involve firearms. There is a risk of becoming the victim of crossfire in these areas. Tourists are also at risk of crimes of opportunity, especially theft and robberies.

Crimes tend to be concentrated within what the police refer to as “traditional hot spots” or “high-risk communities”, but can take place anywhere and at any time.
