Police celebrate 150th anniversary
ST ANDREW, Jamaica — Despite heavy public scrutiny, the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) has much to celebrate as this year marks their 150th year of service to Jamaica.
The JCF was the first of its kind to be established in the English speaking Caribbean, originally formed in 1867 and has since proven to be a key partner in Jamaica’s history and development.
In marking this milestone, under the theme ‘Our Journey: 1867-2017’, the JCF on Thursday will have a launch of a yearlong celebration at the Toyota Jamaica Limited on Old Hope Road in St Andrew.
The launch is slated to begin at 6:00 pm, and people who will be in attendance are Prime Minster Andrew Holness, Security Minister Robert Montague, Acting Police Commissioner Novelette Grant, senior officers and other dignitaries.
