Retired DSP Clarence Bailey laid to rest
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Several former and current members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force joined family and friends on Saturday to pay their final respects to retired Deputy Superintendent Clarence Stephenson Bailey at his homegoing service at Boulevard Baptist Church in St Andrew.
Bailey, who died on December 1, 2025, spent four decades in the force, having enlisted in 1980.
He was buried on what would have been his 66th birthday, January 3rd 2026.
Senior Superintendent of Police Damion Manderson read the commissioner’s tribute and extended condolences to the family on behalf of the St Andrew South Division.
Manderson noted that Bailey served in several divisions over his career, including the Intelligence Branch (Narcotics), the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB), the Mobile Reserve Branch, the Security Flying Squad, the Organised Crime and Investigation Division (OCID), and the Counter Terrorism and Organised Crime (C-TOC) branch.
“In each role, Mr Bailey carried out his responsibilities with integrity, courage and excellence, contributing significantly to national security and public safety. In recognition of his exemplary service and good conduct, Mr Bailey was awarded the Medal of Honour for Long Service and Good Conduct on December 31, 2005, a testament to his dedication and outstanding character,” Manderson said during the tribute.
Bailey’s former batchmate, Dennis Hickey, also gave another tribute.
Deputy Superintendent Coralee Brown-Fowler delivered the eulogy, after which Bailey was laid to rest at Meadowrest Memorial Gardens.
Bailey is survived by his wife, Lorraine; his children, Hakeem, Anita, Lotoya, Jermaine, and Scereisa; and his sister and three brothers.
