THE Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) has extended its call-out for members of the Jamaica National Reserve.

The extended call-out period will be from July 22 to August 18, and the JDF said this is to facilitate the continued support of the police/military operations in sections of the island.

The JDF wishes to thank all employers and the local business community whose understanding and sacrifice have helped us to remove over 14,500 rounds of ammunition and over 88 illegal weapons from the hands of criminals, the JDF said. Although there is still much more to be done, this mutually beneficial partnership between the JDF and the business community will help us to continue our efforts to reduce crime and violence and create a safer, more secure Jamaica.
