Police Gets $1/2 Billion More in Estimates to Fight Corruption

As further evidence of its determination to reduce police corruption, the Government has granted $500 million to the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) Anti Corruption Branch's recurrent budget, in the First Supplementary Estimates 2009/10.
According to the Estimates, tabled in the House of Representatives on Tuesday (September 22) by Minister of Finance and the Public Service, the Hon. Audley Shaw, the sum now increases the Branch's budget to $536.4 million.
At least $500 million will be spent as compensation for the staff, while $3.5 million will go to paying utility bills. There was a savings of $3 million from the previous budget on the purchase of goods and services.
The Police Department will also benefit from an allocation of $369 million to continue the implementation of the recommendations of the Strategic Review of the Force.
The report from the review sets out an "integrated suite of recommendations" aimed at bringing about fundamental reform of the JCF, and to enable the Government to meet its responsibility for a safe and secure Jamaica.
Among the other Police sections which received increases in their recurrent budget in the estimates were: Police Strategy and Plan (formerly Professional Standards), $110 million; Computerization, $12 million; Centre for Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA), $2.5 million; Operation Kingfish, $3.8 million; Criminal Records Office, $4.3 million; Mobile Reserve, $8.7 million; Transport and Repairs, $4 million; and Motorised Patrol, $ $10 million.
The increased spending is, however, largely due to cuts in several other areas of the Police Department, including Human Resource Management and Direction and Administration which suffered cuts totaling over $1 billion.

Govt to Spend $234 Million More on Police Mobility

The Government has made available an additional $234 million to purchase motor vehicles and boats for the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF).
The sum was included as capital expenditure in the First Supplementary Estimates 2009/10, which were tabled in the House of Representatives on Tuesday (September 22), by the Minister of Finance and the Public Service, the Hon Audley Shaw.
National Security Minister, Senator Dwight Nelson, has stated that mobility continues to be a challenge for the police force. He said he was working towards the day that every police station and every police post has at least two police vehicles. He said that providing the police with more armoured vehicles was another initiative being pursued to avoid exposing them to harm.
Senator Nelson said that, in 2008/09, some $800,000 was spent to acquire 200 new vehicles. For this year, he said that there was a need to purchase 160 additional vehicles. In July, some 140 vehicles arrived in the island for use by the JCF.
Late last year, the National Contracts Commission (NCC) endorsed a number of contracts for the provision of vehicles for the JCF, including $143 million for 90 patrol cars from Stewart's Auto Sales Limited and $123 million for 50 double-cab pick-up trucks from Kingston Industrial Garage. The JCF was also expected to acquire 24 sports utility vehicles costing about $68 million, as well as eight 15-seater buses costing about $17 million from Toyota Jamaica.
"The objective must be to ensure that police actions are not hindered by immobility," the Minister said in a broadcast to the nation after assuming the portfolio in May.
