Excerpts:
9. The current challenging security environment locally, coupled with the threat of international terrorism, results in a blurring of traditional agency boundaries with many entities now recognising that they have a role to play in promoting national security. Hence, there is a need to enhance coordination and cooperation among the different ministries and national security agencies.

10. The National Security Policy (NSP) cohesively integrates the country’s major security policies, goals, responsibilities and actions into an overall master strategy for the fulfillment of the vision for national security for Jamaica. The NSP outlines the combined use of the political, economic, social, informational and security instruments of national power and influence, including the military. It clarifies the institutional framework within which the armed forces and civil institutions of the State will coordinate their activities to create an integrated and cohesive national security network to safeguard national interests. It also prescribes the complementary roles and responsibilities of the public and private sectors, as well as civil society, in supporting national security.

11. All Jamaicans must play a part in safeguarding the country’s national security. Certainly, the JDF and JCF have critical roles to play that are central to the effective implementation of the NSP. Notwithstanding, all Government ministries, departments
and agencies (MDAs) need to critically examine their directives and conduct their own internal assessment of the implications of their roles and structures.

12. Individual citizens, the private sector and members of civil society groups are invited to join in this process of transformation and take the necessary steps to contribute to the achievement of the national security goals.

13. The NSP approaches this bold process of transformation in a three-fold way, as it requires the transformation first of attitudes, then processes and systems and finally practices.

14. The NSP aims to TRANSFORM ATTITUDES to promote security awareness and zero tolerance. National security is everyone’s business! National security must have first priority and promote a culture of zero tolerance for disorderly, violent, corrupt and criminal conduct.

15. The NSP aims to TRANSFORM PROCESSES to achieve unity of effort. Existing mechanisms need to be developed and strengthened to encourage cooperation and collaboration for multi-agency security efforts locally and with international partners.
