Here we go again in denial; the bottom line is that a
CORRUPT POLICE FORCE will never be able to effectively address CRIME &
CORRUPTION simply because Citizens do not trust it and will not share what they
know with it. Therefore, what we ought
to be concerned with is TRANSFORMATION OF THE JCF – NOT ANOTHER “CRIME PLAN”.
Reform of the JCF in its current state can only be achieved
by a TOTAL REBUILD as follows:
1.
Set out a timeline of four to six months to
phase out and phase in existing and new organizations simultaneously. This will require the following steps to be
carried out:
a)
Determine cut-over date from JCF to JCS-2017
b)
Give all members of the existing force the
option during a six week window of
opportunity to enlist in the new JAMAICA CONSTABULARY SERVICE
c)
Revise staff orders and prepare new
organizational structure
d)
Interview and vet all applicants using lie
detector and stress interviews
e)
Confirm applicants passing selection criteria
and match with organization and strategy going forward
f)
Review manpower requirements for JCS-2017 and
recruit new members from the army; locally and overseas to fill out command
structure and meet manpower needs
g)
Run appropriate orientation and training
programs for members of new force
h)
Phase out old force and cut-over to new force as
scheduled
2.It is recommended that the new arrangements should provide
for the following:
a)
Mandatory re-enlistment of members every ten
years
b)
Decentralization and introduction of high level
civilian oversight mechanisms by parish for police operations
c)
The establishment of cross-cutting National
Command Force (akin to the FBI) to act as a check on local police
jurisdictions. This command would
include a national paramilitary strike force
d)
Modernized management practices such as
introduction of electronic Station Diaries and statement collection and
enterprise type database management interconnectivity
TINKERING AT THE FRINGES OF THE PROBLEM WON’T GET US
ANYWHERE.
