On Friday, May 21, 2026, members of the Jamaica Ex-Police Association of South Florida (JEPA) completed several charity projects in the Parish of St. Elizabeth.
JEPA members, with their president, Sheryl Marsh, and former presidents Avis Jarrett-Miller, Roy Bennett, and Malachi Smith, along with other members of the 34-year-old South Florida-based organization, visited the Black River Police Station, the Police Convalescence Home in Black River, and Peacock Heights, New Town, and Black River. JEPA awarded two of our three Jamaican scholarships and presented gifts to the Black River Police, the Convalescence Home, and hurricane supplies, including tarpaulins, hammers, nails, paint brushes, corking materials, screwdrivers, clothing, and other gifts to families in Peacock Heights, New Town, and Black River. Members also paid a special visit to a female ex-police officer, who is a major social media influencer but is now admitted to the Black River Hospital with a major illness.
The group participated in Labour Day projects in Bog Walk and at the May Pen Police Station.
On Tuesday, May 27, the group hosted its Adopt a Basic School for a Day Project at the Burnt Savannah Basic School. The following day, the group concluded its mission at the Strawberry District in Westmoreland. The third scholarship was awarded there.
