JCF Reports that INDECOM is Investigating Off Duty Cop Involved in Assault Instigated by Romeich

After receiving news and watching the violent circulating videos from Rebel’s birthday party, the Jamaica Constabulary force has issued a lengthy statement as they assess a member of their staff who was taking part in multiple beatings seemingly under the command of Romeich.

In the statement, the JCF details that the High Command immediately launched an internal investigation, however, the matter has since been taken up by the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM).

The statement reads, “The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) High Command is aware of a video circulating on social media that shows an alleged incident involving off-duty personnel purported to be members of the JCF. The High Command only became aware of this incident and the reported connection to a member after it was raised publicly by a talk show host.”

“Upon learning of the incident, the High Command immediately launched an internal investigation through its Inspectorate Professional Standards Oversight Bureau (IPROB) to determine the facts, including whether any policies were breached. However, the matter has since become the subject of an independent investigation by the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM), which is responsible for investigating allegations of police misconduct.”

“In keeping with established procedures, the JCF has handed over all relevant information to INDECOM and will fully cooperate with their investigation.”

“The High Command takes these allegations seriously and reiterates its commitment to transparency and accountability. We categorically state that there have been no delays in our response; action was taken immediately upon the matter being brought to our attention. As the investigation is ongoing, and now under the jurisdiction of INDECOM, the JCF will not comment further on this specific case at this time.”

Clarity was also given as it relates to the JCF member who gies by the name “Andre” seemingly working at the event while off duty.

More from the statement reads, “It is important to clarify that the JCF permits members to engage in private service, commonly referred to as “extra work,” under strict guidelines outlined in the Force Orders of March 8, 2018. These guidelines regulate how officers may engage in private service while ensuring their primary responsibilities to the Force and the public are not compromised.”

“Private Service arrangements must adhere to established rules regarding eligibility, prohibited activities, and operational standards. The policy ensures that such engagements are conducted transparently, ethically, and without conflict of interest.”

“While extra work is allowed, all officers are required to uphold the highest professional standards at all times, whether on-duty or off-duty. Any misconduct or breach of policy is treated with the utmost seriousness.”
 
“We assure the public that any member found in breach of JCF policies or the law will be held accountable. The integrity of the JCF and the trust of the Jamaican people remain our highest priorities.”
