Jamaican Police Chief encourages texts to 119 emergency number

If you read the text in this article from the Jamaica Observer, the Police Commissioner definitely seems to get texting.

POLICE Commissioner Lucius Thomas has welcomed the new facility that allows citizens to send a text to the police’s 119 emergency number, and has asked Jamaicans to use the service to help in the fight against crime.

I particularly like this comment that he made:

So I implore every citizen to make certain that you text the messages to us, let us analyse them and lead with the intelligence available from that..

I hope it’s useful.

Petty neat that you can text 119 as well, rather than a standard long mobile number or a shortcode.
