Tax & Security Oversight: Prime Minister Andrew Holness ordered Tax Administration Jamaica to build and roll out a system to trace demonstration plates, saying misuse is tied to lottery scamming and tax evasion. Evictions Under Review: Holness also directed the Jamaica Constabulary Force to review how lawful evictions are carried out after public backlash over the Coopers Pen operation in Trelawny, including claims of detentions without charges. Cooper’s Pen Relocation: Holness reported steady progress relocating eligible residents from the illegal settlement, with land surveys, infrastructure planning and possible relocation subsidies—targeting a December start for the first group. Police Operations & Accountability: INDECOM and police high command are investigating a fatal St Andrew North operation where three people were shot, including “Max,” described as a high-risk criminal target; in Kingston and St Catherine, separate police shootings left more men dead. Public Safety: The Island Traffic Authority says 40+ people were killed in crashes over the last 28 days, with motorcyclists making up a large share of fatalities. National Innovation: Nominations for the 2026 Prime Minister’s National Medal for Science and Technology and National Innovation Awards close Sept. 14.
