Crisis in Police Force?

From where I sit, the tension, between the Police Federation and the police top brass has peaked. Based on recent developments, there is now serious challenges with the leadership of the Federation and its membership. It is clear that based on the actions of the current executive, this has created a rift between Corporal Rohan James and the Executive Committee. The effects of this tension is reverberating throughout the organization. I understand that a few are rejoicing about Corporal James' fall but someone said, "Today fi yu, tomorrow fi me!"

This all started when Corporal James made certain comments at a funeral service. He did so in his capacity as Chairman of the Police Federation.  His comments irked some members of the police high command.

The best strategy would have been to call in the Federation Head and his executive and talk with them. Consultation, mediation and an agreed settlement would be the ideal outcome of this preferred strategy.

This reminds me - Hamas had entered Israel, and Israel is hell-bent on using all its forces to write off Hamas completely. The challenge is Jamaica is one country and I cannot see how this country will benefit from this internal strife between the Federation, the top brass of the police force and we still expect excellent service from the security forces. This bloodletting must stop and egos must be put aside. We will end up winning the battle but the war will continue.

Lest we forget, the big war, the war on crime is very challenging and we are losing the war against crime. Those playing politrics in this game should remember that di same knife wey stick goat wi stick sheep. Let's take this matter of Corporal James out of the courts. Reinstall Rohan as a corporal and also head of the Police Federation. The new Commissioner cannot lead a divided force.

Where are the churches? Where are the trade unions? Where are the other workers' organizations? Were are the rank and file members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force? Somehow we are fast asleep. We will wake up one day to find that the workers' rights have all been lost.
