JLP's CRIME PLAN:
Crime reduction plan
Actively promote community policing, particularly in inner-city communities, to improve the effectiveness of the police and to improve the relationship between citizens and the police.
Remove politics from the police force by establishing an independent Police Services Commission (members to be confirmed by two-thirds majority in each House of Parliament).
Improve benefits and compensation for police officers, including a special retirement plan, specialised training compensation, and quicker payment of compensation and benefits.
Create a new, independent, modern and technology-led National Intelligence Agency ("NIA") by merging police and military intelligence units (Special Branch, Military Intelligence Unit). The NIA will report to a committee of the Commissioner of Police, Chief of Staff of the JDF, and a representative of the Attorney-General. The NIA chairman would be a civilian with a strong human rights record.
Implement COMPSTAT to collect, monitor, analyse and map crime data, and to devise strategies to reduce crime.
Increase the capital budget for the police for full computerisation and equipment for intelligence, ballistic tests, DNA testing, forensics.
Facilitate the improvement and implementation to enforce a procedure for proper crime scene management.
Increase penalties for terrorist activities and other serious crimes.
Launch a major programme to upgrade all police stations and ensure all officers have proper radio and other necessary equipment.
Establish strategic police outposts and sub-stations in high crime areas to diffuse crime and act as a deterrent to criminal activity.
Disband special "national" squads and rely instead on the National Intelligence Agency and local forces to wipe out crime.
Fund the Crime Reduction Plan by negotiating with bilateral creditors to channel bilateral debt repayments into crime fighting.
