Jamaican Posses

Encyclopedia : J : JA : JAM : Jamaican Posses

Jamaican Posses are a category of gangs originating in Jamaica. It is widely claimed that the Jamaican Posses are affiliated with Jamaican political parties, such as the Jamaica Labour Party and the People's National Party.

Jamaican Posses include the Shower Posse, Spangler, and Tivoli Gardens. More recently there has been the emergence of a new set of gangs rising from the ashes of the old links. In the past decade the One Order Gang with links to the opposition Jamaica Labour Party and the Klansman Gang with links to the ruling Peoples National Party have emerged as major players on the crime scene.

The Shower posse was headed by a notorious man born Vivian Blake.

They are known to be heavily involved in trafficking both powder and crack cocaine. Extortion is now a major source of income for these gangs.

The alleged head of the One Order Gang, Andrew 'Bun Man' Hope, was murdered in Spanish Town on Feb 8, 2006 which sparked a riot the following day.
