IN ADDITION to using well-needed resources and modern equipment, members of the security forces must, of necessity, take the fight to criminals on another level, if they are to have a realistic chance of winning.
This was the charge from Minister of National Security Peter Bunting to the newest members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) yesterday morning.
"We have to find smarter, better, more innovative ways to practise our policing because the criminals are also engaging some of the best professional minds to assist them," he told the passing-out parade and awards ceremony of 214 constables at the Jamaica Police Academy in Twickenham Park, St Catherine.
"You are joining the JCF at a critical juncture in its history, when it is undergoing an important transformation and modernisation programme, aimed at transforming it into a modern, professional, accountable and appropriately resourced police service. As new members, you are vital to this process. The transformation and modernisation thrust cannot succeed without the commitment of every recruit, and a change of culture of the in-service personnel."
