The high command of the JCF seem to have one purpose and one purpose alone , that is to demotivate and help demonize the men and women who place their lives on the line in service to their country.. That has been the Modus Operandi of the generally ignorant ‚incompetent and corrupt set of buffoons who make up this colony of clowns, with the exception of a few.
Over the years that colony has had some changes they are more formally ‑educated , but still partly corrupt , incompetent , lazy , clueless and deeply spineless.
In recent times there has been much disquiet about the force and even calls to disband it altogether . That call also came from former SSP Reneto Adams a member of that cadre of clowns. I am not generally enamored with Adams , a man whose claim to fame is what many characterize as a litany of extra-judicial killings. Even though I admire his mettle and his unencumbered spirit to speak out on crime.

My disdain for the police high command has not wavered over the years, that is well know. I have been fair and supportive when warranted but I was no fan of the high command when I served 25-years-ago and I’m not not a fan today.
It was a culture of incompetence, corruption , nepotism, bullying , and cowardice among other vices which convinced many decent loyal and capable officers to exit the department early, myself among them.
It is the very same vices which influences the incredibly high attrition rate which plagues the department today.

Over the years I have tried to point to the fact that officers who leave the department and continue policing careers, whether within the CARICOM region or outside, have built exemplary careers of which the Island can be justly proud.
Over the years when our junior officers compete with cops from other nations in policing courses ‚Jamaicans officers excel over the competition.
So what is the matter with the police force we have in Jamaica you ask ?

To you I say this ” shit does not flow upstream”
When a team does poorly it is always management. When a team does poorly it is always the coaching staff . Many argue that younger officers are trained well but once they go out on the streets they discard what they learned. To that I ask ‚“whose responsibility is it to supervise and guide them?
Young men and women who become police officers and drag the name of the department through the mud do so because their back-ground checks were done from bar-stools if at all. Whose fault is it?
Officers who go out un-supervised to extort motorists ‚I ask this of you, whose fault is it?
Young officers who end up unsupported in tough situations, afraid, unsure, and set upon , I ask you this, whose fault is it?

Where are the Deputy Commissioners? Where are the Assistant Commissioners? Where are the Senior Superintendents? Where are the Superintendents? Where are the Deputy Superintendents?
If the engine in your car does not work, you cannot get service from that car. If the police force is not working, do not blame the young men and women who pound the beat and dodge the bullets .
Blame the people you trust to make the department work.
Lets be clear, I am not naïve regarding the challenges which the department faces politically and otherwise. My comments regarding the department’s ineptitude speaks to what can be done better under the existing circumstances.

When was the last time a member of the Gazetted Rank lost his or her life in the line of duty? When was the last time any member of the gazetted rank was shot or even shot at in the line of duty?
What does that say about their involvement in crime-fighting ?
What does that say about their involvement in crime-fighting ?
What does it say about the seriousness level when there are no officers like Anthony Hewitt. Ruddy Dwyer, . Where are the Kelso Smalls, and the O C Hares? Where are the Donald Puseys, Altamoth parra Campbell and the Cornwall bigga Fords?
The list of stalwarts is long and varied. Recently departed Spungie, one of our most well loved officers and many others who were extremely effective but somewhat less know have contributed significantly to driving fear int the hearts of Jamaica’s heartless criminals and saving countless lives in the process.
I’ll answer that question for you, they have all retired or calmly exited the stage . Whats left are window dressings, scared shit-less of the anti-police agency Bruce Golding set up to antagonize police.
This is not about Golding or the criminally corrupt PNP , it is simply a statement of fact.
The once sacred creed or Esprit de Corps which has kept our brotherhood of officer dedicated to each other, watching the back of each other has been slandered and smeared . Made out to be a thing to shun and revile.
The hierarchy of the force went along with Carolyn Gomes and now INDECOM , allowing the most sacred creed of police officers everywhere to become a stain , a symbol of cover-up by people who never sacrificed anything , never did anything but for themselves.

It’s time to fire the entire failed coaching staff.
