The police are to seek a ruling from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) on whether a fellow policeman who was caught with 150 pounds of compressed ganja yesterday is be charged for breaching the Dangerous Drugs Act.

Director of Communications for the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), Karl Angell said in a release issued early this morning, that a police inspector was caught by members of the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) with three carton boxes and a knapsack filled with compressed ganja wrapped in masking tape in the drunk of the vehicle that he was driving.

According to Mr. Angell, the inspector who has over 12 years of service in the JCF, was intercepted by the ACB team while driving towards Kingston on the Mandela Highway.

The policeman, who is attached to a division in the Corporate Area, remains in custody while a case file is being prepared for submission to the DPP for a ruling.

The DPP will probably take another two years to rule on this.

Head of the Jamaica Constabulary Force Anti Corruption Branch (ACB), Assistant Commissioner of Police Justin Felice, yesterday described as "disappointing" the latest incident in which a high-ranking member of the force was nabbed with 150lb of ganja in what was said to be an intelligence-led operation.

"To see such a senior officer who was only recently promoted, and at a time when the confidence of the public in the police is increasing, it is really disappointing," Felice said yesterday.

The police inspector was nabbed on Saturday when the vehicle he was driving was intercepted along the Mandela Highway and searched by members of the ACB. According to a release from the Constabulary Communication Network, the inspector was held with three carton boxes and a knapsack filled with compressed ganja wrapped in masking tape.

Felice, while not divulging much information, said it appeared the marijuana was destined for export. He also disclosed that the inspector, who has more than 12 years' service in the constabulary was assigned to the Mobile Reserve Department in a Corporate Area police division.

The inspector was in custody awaiting the completion of the case file and a ruling from the director of public prosecutions.

Since January, a total of 22 police personnel have been arrestedon corruption-related matters. Eighteen of those arrested have since been charged. The list of those charged includes 15 constables, two corporals and a sergeant.
