Cstyle TV recently had the rare opportunity to speak with Jamaica's Assistant Deputy Commissioner of Police Charles Scarlett on one of his visits to the United States. He sat down with host Massapan to discuss the issue of police corruption in Jamaica and what they are doing to address the problem.
As many people may know that police corruption in Jamaica is a well known fact and it is at the forefront of the Governments agenda  to clean up the Jamaica Constabulary Force(JCF).

$84.6 Million budget awarded to Independent Commission of Investigations(INDECOM).This special branch was mandated to probe all allegations of abuse and other potentially criminal acts by members of the security forces, including fatal shootings.The disclosure was made in Parliament, as Finance Minister Audley Shaw unveiled supplementary estimates for the 2010-2011 fiscal year, the budget was given to carry out its daily activities.

From $86.4 million budget, $63.8 million derived from the police Bureau of Special Investigations which was replaced by Independent Commission of Investigations(INDECOM)and the remaining $22.6 million was retracted from the Ministry of Justice whom was  overseeing the responsibility for the now dismantled Police Public Complaints Authority.
