“What I have ordered is that the audit team in the Ministry of National Security, which is technically competent in that area, be with the police and be part of the police’s effort to audit the stores and storage areas of firearms throughout the island,” Nelson told journalists in Montego Bay, St James, on Monday, following his address at the Pre-International Drug Enforcement Conference (IDEC) at the Iberostar Grand Resort.
“Every single place where firearms and ammunition are stored is going to be audited because we must know what weapons, how much ammunition is being stored there, and we are going to do this audit at least twice a year,” he said.
