Dr. Kevin Blake Should Resign Over JCF Coke Scandal.
Commissioner of Police Dr. Kevin Blake advised the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) to avoid rushing to judgment on allegations against members. Despite his advice, Blake disbanded the Counter-Terrorism and Organized Crime Branch (C-TOC) over cocaine allegations, appearing contradictory. The public perceives Blake's actions as hasty and believes he's acting under pressure, damaging his credibility. The ongoing narcotics investigation involves several high-ranking police officers and explores whether they under-reported cocaine seizures. Given the scandal's severity, there are calls for Commissioner Blake to resign as the largest corruption issue occurred under his leadership.
C-TOC High-Ranking Officers are under Cocaine investigation.
Law enforcement is investigating C-TOC officers for potentially under-reporting cocaine seized from a police storage facility. Authorities discovered illegal cocaine parcels during an internal audit of the C-TOC, leading to its disbandment. Police Commissioner Dr. Kevin Blake reassigned over 40 officers after dismantling the C-TOC Division. MOCA agents conducted searches at multiple locations, including the home of a senior officer associated with C-TOC. Major Basil Jarrett from MOCA stated that further details will be released when safe and responsible.
