JCF Says It’s Working To Rid Force Of Criminals

The Police High Command says in addi­tion to the raft of integri­ty mon­i­tor­ing process­es already in place, there will be sig­nif­i­cant increase in the inter­nal sur­veil­lance mech­a­nisms to ensure that those with crim­i­nal intent are sep­a­rat­ed from the organisation.

The Police High Command says a more strin­gent super­vi­sion mech­a­nism is being imple­ment­ed to man­age the screen­ing of mem­bers join­ing the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF).

The devel­op­ment fol­lows recent inci­dents of crim­i­nal activ­i­ties involv­ing serv­ing mem­bers of the force. The Police High Command says it has not­ed the inci­dents with great con­cern and is assur­ing the pub­lic that this type of con­duct is by no means typ­i­cal of the gen­er­al mem­ber­ship of the JCF. It says it is strength­en­ing the Force’s capac­i­ty to mon­i­tor serv­ing mem­bers. It says in addi­tion to the raft of integri­ty mon­i­tor­ing process­es already in place, there will be sig­nif­i­cant increase in the inter­nal sur­veil­lance mech­a­nisms to ensure that those with crim­i­nal intent are sep­a­rat­ed from the organ­i­sa­tion. The Police High Command is renew­ing its call for per­sons with infor­ma­tion on illic­it activ­i­ties and unpro­fes­sion­al con­duct of mem­bers of the JCF to share what they know with MOCA or the Inspectorate of Constabulary. The lat­est inci­dent involv­ing a cop took place in Clarendon ear­ly yes­ter­day morn­ing. A police­man was beat­en and had to be hos­pi­talised after he and two oth­ers alleged­ly tried to break into a woman’s house in Morgan’s District about 3 o’clock yes­ter­day morn­ing. see sto­ry here: JCF Says It’s Working To Rid Force Of Criminals
