Blake praises heroes in uniform

Commissioner of Police Dr Kevin Blake has challenged members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) to continue viewing policing as an act of service, saying every interaction with the public has the power to improve lives and strengthen communities.

Addressing the 2026 LASCO JCF Saluting Our Heroes Awards on Monday, Blake said the ceremony was not simply about recognising outstanding officers, but celebrating the impact they have on the people they serve.

“There is always something special about being in a room filled with people whose service has earned the respect of their colleagues and the appreciation of the communities they serve,” he said.
