<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">Former Head of the St Catherine North Police Superintendent Harry Daley otherwise called “Bungles” was this afternoon taken into police custody for breaches of the Corruption Prevention Act</span>.
Assistant Commissioner in charge of the Anti-Corruption Branch, Justine Felice this afternoon confirmed that Daley was arrested following a sting operation in Downtown Kingston.
Daley is the first member of the police officer corps to be charged in connection with breaches of the Act since a major clamp down started in January.
Since the start of this year more than 50 members of the force have been charged with breaches of the Corruption Prevention Act.
Daley who has been associated with some of the country’s toughest crime spots such as West Kingston and Spanish Town in St. Catherine, is the most senior.
According to the Constabulary Communication Network members of the Anti-Corruption Branch conducted a covert sting operation in downtown Kingston earlier today and arrested Daley.
However no detail of the operation or the actions which led to the arrest of Daley were provided.
ACP Felice was equally terse when he spoke with the Gleaner/Power 106 News refusing to add anything to the two paragraph release from the police communication unit.
But sources close to the investigation say Daley was held after he was seen receiving money which had been marked and recorded by the police.
Daley was last in the news in June when he was involved in an altercation with a member of the Jamaica Defence Force during a police/military operation in Spanish Town.
At that time it was reported that the solider pointed his gun at Daley who was head of the St. Catherine North Police Division and who was not aware of the massive operation in the area under his command.
In the aftermath of that incident Daley was transferred to the Detention and Courts Division in what many described as a demotion.
That was not the only controversial transfer involving Daley.
In 2002 he was sent to head the West Kingston Police Division after a flare up of crime in the area.
Two years later he was transferred to St. Catherine North sparking a protest by residents of Tivoli Gardens, Denham Town and other communities who credited him for a sharp reduction in the level of violence in those areas.
