Jamaica Constabulary Force (Anti-Corruption Branch)
The JCF has been engaged in the implementation of an anti-corruption strategy programme which is running from 2012 – 2015. The strategy is designed to address the problem of corruption in the short, medium and long terms. As part of this strategy, ICPS was asked to design a five-day training programme specifically for officers from the JCF to look at anti-corruption in practical, strategically implementable terms. ICPS identified methodologies which could complement the work already underway within the force, and would help to improve the objectives already in place. The brief was to set corruption in context in global terms, before narrowing down the focus to look at specifically local issues and then to examine and analyse issues specifically affecting the JCF. Case studies and examples of anti-corruption initiatives and programmes which have been implemented by police forces around the world were then requested, with a significant amount of time dedicated to strategic implementation of these in the context of the work of the JCF.

The brief was to cover the subject in broad terms, with a greater emphasis than usual on the subject area of protecting consumers, the public and ethics, with case studies from related sectors from which the lessons could be easily transferred and applied in the regulation of medicines.
