No Side Jobs for the Police as of Tomorrow
As of November 1, 2008, Jamaican police personnel will not be able to pursue jobs outside the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF).
According to Deputy Commissioner of Police Mark Shields, “Starting November 1, police officers
cannot be employed outside the force. People will be expected to declare their business interests.”
This, Shields said, is a strategy that’s currently being undertaken by the commissioner of police, Rear Admiral Hardley Lewin, to help fight corruption in the police force.
Shields, who was speaking at a press conference, held at the NCB Towers in New Kingston on Wednesday, made the announcement after journalists raised the issue of police personnel owning illegal taxis. “We acknowledge there is a problem,” Shields said.
