The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) Cadet Academy marked a proud milestone on Thursday, at the National Police College of Jamaica (NPCJ), as 35 young men from Cohorts Four and Five graduated after completing an intensive programme of academic study, discipline and leadership training.

Delivering the valedictory address, Cadet Anthony Clarke reflected on a demanding but transformative journey. “Today marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another,” he said, describing the academy as “challenging, demanding, and at times exhausting, but also rewarding and unforgettable.”

He recalled arriving in August 2024 “as young men searching for direction and purpose,” and said the experience forged resilience. “We were not just trained; we were transformed,” Clarke declared. “Discipline is not punishment, but a pathway to success.”
