10-y-o offers crime plan for Jamaica

THE EDITOR, Sir:

I am 10 years old. My mother, sister and I were passing the ZOSO (zone of special operations) when I thought, why don't they put soldiers along the border of each parish and space them out based on how many soldiers there are available (at least 200 in each parish)? They should also put at least 100 more police in each parish (50 in most violent places, and 50 in the calmest places) and 10 fire trucks and 10 ambulances.

This will be about 1,400 officers (NOT ONLY SOLDIERS) and 280 fire trucks and ambulances. Leave extra soldiers for the shoreline.

I bet you're wondering, how would they get so many people?

Well, this will be a great opportunity for young men in their twenties to get good jobs. This is just my plan.

You could make it better any way you want, as long as Jamaica is safe.

This entire operation is to prevent criminals from getting into and out of parishes.

We must keep Jamaica safe.

Keep an eye on the shoreline, too, just in case any criminals try to escape.
