APPENDIX ‘A’ TO FORCE ORDERS 3354 DATED 2011-09-15<br />

The JCF’s New Accelerated Promotion Programme (NAPP)<br />

1.0.0 Rationale for a policy change in JCF’s Special Management Selection and Training<br />

Programmes.<br />

1.0.1 The Graduate (Direct) Entry Programme<br />

1.0.2 In 1989 the then Minister of National Security and Justice, the Honourable K.D. Knight, indicated in<br />

his budget presentation that the <strong>Jamaica</strong> <strong>Constabulary</strong> Force (JCF) should seek to attract<br />

Graduates with certain skills.<br />

1.0.3 In April 1994, Cabinet gave approval for a number of proposals emanating from the Hirst and Wolfe<br />

Reports to improve the capabilities of the <strong>Jamaica</strong> <strong>Constabulary</strong> Force.<br />

1.0.4 The proposals included the introduction of the Graduate Entry Programme, the abolition of the rank<br />

of Assistant Superintendent as a promotional rank and its retention to accommodate Graduate<br />

(Direct) Entry Recruits.<br />

1.0.5 In keeping with the recommendations of the Hirst Report and Cabinet's approval, the Ministry of<br />

Finance gave approval for seventy-two (72) posts of Assistant Superintendent of Police to be<br />

upgraded to Deputy Superintendent of Police. Approval was also given for the retention of Assistant<br />

Superintendent of Police to accommodate the Graduate Entry Programme.<br />

1.0.6 On November 17, 1997 vide Cabinet Decision No. 37 the number of posts for Assistant<br />

Superintendent of Police was increased to thirty-one (31) and was subsequently increased to 100<br />

posts.<br />

1.0.7 The first recruitment under the Graduate Entry Programme (GEP) occurred in May 1996, when<br />

eleven (11) Graduates were selected for a two (2) year training programme. Since then two<br />

additional programmes have been conducted: (a) a batch of 21 Graduates were trained between<br />

2002 and 2003 and (b) a batch of 16 between 2006 and 2008. The first two intakes (1996 and 2002)<br />

comprised Direct Entry graduates and serving members who held at least a Baccalaureate Degree.<br />

The final batch of 16 comprised Graduate (Direct) Entry Officers only.<br />

1.0.8 In its initiation in 1996 the Programme was intended to recruit graduates with specialized skills and<br />

competencies to function in specific areas where the JCF was deficient. While this largely drove<br />

the selection of the second cohort of GEP candidates, the status quo has changed for the following<br />

reasons:<br />

a) Civilianization is now the method used to address the need for administrative and<br />

specialised skills in areas that do not require police powers.<br />

b) The need to improve educational standard and provide specialist skills through the<br />

Graduate Entry Programme has been significantly negated by (a) the increasing number<br />

of tertiary level serving members who have gained degrees and other professional<br />

qualifications (b) the increasing number of tertiary level graduates who are willing to join<br />

the JCF at the entry level.<br />

c) While the need may arise for the JCF to recruit Direct Entry Officers in the future, the<br />

greater need of the JCF at this time is the development of leadership and command<br />

capabilities among existing personnel rather than an accumulation of expertise in<br />

specialised academic disciplines.<br />

1.1.0 The Internal Graduate Development Programme (IGDP)<br />

1.1.1 The IGDP was introduced in 2006:<br />

a) as a response to the rapid increase in the number of serving members of the force<br />

acquiring tertiary level education<br />

b) to identify, train and accelerate the promotion of suitably qualified members to fill the void<br />

caused by the high attrition of members in the middle management and supervisory<br />

ranks. The introduction of the IGDP therefore presented these members with the<br />

opportunity for advanced training and promotion to the supervisory and junior command<br />

ranks.<br />

1


APPENDIX ‘A’ (CONT’D)<br />

1.1.2 The introduction of the IGDP corrected the unnecessary requirement in the Graduate (Direct) Entry<br />

Programme whereby serving graduates who participated in the programme had to repeat Basic<br />

Recruit Training. However the IGDP which accelerates serving members (graduates) to the rank of<br />

Inspector is perceived to be discriminatory as their counterparts, the direct entry graduates in the<br />

Graduate Entry Programme, are appointed at the rank of Assistant Superintendent.<br />

1.1.3 The IGDP programme remains relevant as it looks at a pool of talent across the force and selects<br />

the best persons for training and advancement.<br />

1.2.0 The Accelerated Promotion Programme<br />

1.2.1 This is the earliest of the JCF’s special management development programmes to accelerate the<br />

promotion of members to fill existing and emerging positions at the junior command and<br />

supervisory levels of the force. The programme was introduced in 1973. After the first cohort of 12<br />

participants, the programme experienced a hiatus. It was reintroduced in 1990 and has since<br />

graduated five batches of officers. It has been the most successful of the special management<br />

training programmes as graduates from the programme now occupy critical executive positions in<br />

the force.<br />

1.3.0 GENERAL<br />

1.3.1 The GEP, although very relevant at the outset in bringing persons of higher learning with new<br />

perspectives, ideas and thinking into the force, is no longer a significant recruitment strategy for<br />

these purposes as the force is: (a) attracting large number of persons in this category through the<br />

normal recruitment programme and (b) the young and bright serving members have been<br />

qualifying and preparing themselves for mobility in the force. Any future need that may arise in the<br />

force for the engagement of rare skills in sworn office can be accommodated in a new special<br />

management development programme.<br />

1.3.2 One of the merits of the IGDP and APP is that these programmes consider a broad pool of<br />

personnel available from the junior level and select the best suited candidates for development and<br />

acceleration into the officer ranks. They deviate from the normal process whereby commanding<br />

officers select personnel for promotion from a limited pool of personnel under their command – a<br />

process that undoubtedly is skewed toward narrow sectorial interest.<br />

1.3.3 Although all three programmes have essentially the same aim and objectives, they have been<br />

treated as separate programmes therefore negating the value of cross fertilization of ideas,<br />

synergy and camaraderie among the cohorts. If the present practice continues, it has the potential<br />

of resulting in elitism and insularity. This could prove dysfunctional in an organization that is<br />

undergoing reform and modernization of its systems, procedures and practices.<br />

1.3.4 The circumstances outlined above led to a review of the policy of the Graduate (Direct) Entry<br />

Internal Graduate Development and the Accelerated Promotion Programmes which beckons<br />

changes in (a) the approach to recruitment and selection, (b) the training modality, and (c)<br />

deployment of graduates of the programme. The circumstances also strongly advocated the<br />

merging of all the special management training for officers to ensure parity, integration and a<br />

greater level of synergy among the cohorts thereby resulting greater levels of efficiency in the<br />

force.<br />

2.0.0 THE JCF’s NEW ACCELERATED PROMOTION PROGRAMME POLICY (NAPP)<br />

APPENDIX ‘B’ TO FORCE ORDERS 3354 DATED 2011-09-15<br />

Establishing Strong Relationships<br />

Part 1 - Compatibility<br />

Many people erroneously believe that "opposites attract", and seek a partner with<br />

interests opposite to their own under the illusion that this is a good way to form an<br />

enduring bond. Partners, who get caught in this lie, often suffer painful consequences.<br />

While it is true that opposites do attract sometimes, this attraction usually doesn't hold<br />

up to the reality of everyday life and commitment.<br />

Incompatibility remains the strongest factor contributing to breakup. Psychologists have<br />

discovered that there are certain types of incompatible relationships that are doomed to<br />

fail from the start. We call these Incompatible Relationships.<br />

Incompatible relationships<br />

The fact that you love each other does not mean that you were meant to be. People<br />

should be warned of the dangers of dating someone with vast differences. The following<br />

is a summary of the five most common incompatible types of relationships.<br />

1. The Missionary Relationship<br />

In the missionary relationship one partner is trying to convert the other person to the<br />

faith. The common denominator of the missionary relationship is the need to justify the<br />

relationship on evangelistic grounds. For starters, how ludicrous to think that you can<br />

establish a healthy bond with someone on the basis of a hidden agenda! Unsurprisingly,<br />

after hanging on to these dead-end relationships, it's even more difficult to break it off in<br />

the end. The bottom line is that when there is spiritual or religious incompatibility - get<br />

out. It's too difficult to judge the sincerity of one's spiritual quest, when the emotions of<br />

love and romance are involved. The sacrifice is usually unjustified. Missionary<br />

relationships simply don't work.<br />

2. Sacrificial Relationship<br />

Some women tragically apply the mission of falling for men who are emotionally "sick<br />

and dying" for their love lives. Against all odds, they attempt to love, comfort, and take<br />

care of their lovers, hoping to nurture them back to emotional health. It reminds of a<br />

children’s game -one is the nurse, and the other is the patient. If you have a tendency to<br />

hang on to needy people in order to "love" them to health, then you need to ask yourself<br />

why. Why do you have this unquenchable need to be needed You are called to be an<br />

equal partner in a relationship, not a shrink, surrogate parent, missionary, or nurse.<br />

Sacrificial relationships may seem exciting and challenging at first, but they usually end<br />

in disillusionment. If this describes you, you need remedial work - get a life!<br />

3. The Exotic Relationship<br />

When two people from radically different cultural or ethnic backgrounds get together it’s<br />

called an Exotic relationship. At the beginning you might be intrigued by the accent,<br />

cultural differences, and mysterious demeanor of the other person. The relationship can<br />

be based on the allure of being with someone completely different in so many ways.<br />

Sure, exotic relationships are exciting and adventurous, but they're extremely<br />

impractical. Under the best of circumstances, dating and marriage are difficult and<br />

challenging. Before you invest time, energy, and money into an exotic relationship,<br />

consider the fact that the odds of this kind of relationship actually making it one in a<br />

million.<br />

4. “ Unequally aged” Relationship<br />

The hallmark of the unequally aged relationship is the considerable age gap between<br />

partners. If you find yourself saying, "Yes, sir" to your partner, then you may be in this<br />

particular type of relationships. If your partner is still telling you stories about the "good<br />

old days" in the fifties, then this is your case. These types are usually trying to<br />

compensate for emotional insecurity, or expecting their partner to fill in for Mom or Dad.<br />

Regardless of the psychological reasons behind this trend, in most cases this<br />

substantial age difference is another example of incompatible relationships.<br />

Unequally aged relationships provide a sense of emotional or financial security at their<br />

early stage, but eventually they hit several snags of incompatibility. Energy levels can be<br />

drastically different. Cultural connecting points such as movies, historical events, music,<br />

and past trends will also be different. These things may seem trivial, but they are<br />

extremely important when you are seeking to build a long-lasting bond.<br />

6


5. Rebellious Relationship<br />

The first sign of this kind of relationship is the need to date someone purely out of your<br />

‘ caste’ . Rebellious relationship daters choose a partner, who is exactly the opposite<br />

of everything their families would want for them. Most of the time, people engaged in<br />

this kind of relationship, are merely angry with their parents or attempting to define<br />

themselves as a way to establish a sense of independence. However, there are more<br />

constructive ways to deal with anger or establish independence – understanding,<br />

forgiveness and maturity. Save yourself the pain and embarrassment by staying clear of<br />

any kind of rebellious relationship.<br />

Compatible relationships<br />

A relationship, by definition, is the connecting of people. Therefore, to have a successful<br />

relationship with the opposite sex you must connect on many levels. This is what is<br />

called Compatible Relationships. Example below shows that in order to truly connect<br />

with another person, you must be compatible on three general levels: spiritual, physical,<br />

and social.<br />

1.The Spiritual Connection<br />

If you cannot connect with your partner on a spiritual level, your relationship will be<br />

difficult. What you believe about God, how you pray, which holidays you celebrate,<br />

which books you hold to be sacred, and your opinion on baptism are just a few<br />

components that make up your spiritual belief system. When you don't see eye to eye<br />

with your partner in these areas, then you are compromising something that is deeply<br />

ingrained in you. Your spirituality and how that is expressed is the most intense and<br />

intimate part of you. Tremendous heartache and frustration will occur, when two people<br />

are unable to connect and share this most intimate part of their lives.<br />

2. The Physical Connection<br />

Being sexually attracted to your partner is a prerequisite for a healthy relationship.<br />

Having a spiritual connection is not enough. You must have that spark, that chemistry,<br />

that attraction that draws you to the person like a magnet. There must be "something" in<br />

the way that person looks, moves, laughs, speaks, or smiles; something that compels<br />

you to want to be with him or her. All great relationships have some element of<br />

chemistry, and you either have it or you don't.<br />

3. The Social Connection<br />

Some people often neglect social compatibility, though this very area creates lots of<br />

stresses on relationships. Social compatibility primarily concerns family patterns and<br />

social relating.<br />

The old saying, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," usually holds true. Who you<br />

are, and many of your life perspectives stem directly from your family upbringing. If you<br />

grew up in a home in which you received love, support, encouragement and security<br />

from your parents, then you probably have a good foundation for building a happy<br />

family. If you didn't grow up in such an environment, then you would have to work harder<br />

to develop a strong bond. Some of the important issues associated with family<br />

background are holiday customs, family rules, finances, domestic responsibilities, and<br />

rearing children.<br />

The other area of connecting at the social level deals with patterns of relating. This<br />

dimension of a relationship covers a wide variety of concerns, including social skills,<br />

communication style, and intellectual compatibility.<br />

What does it mean to be compatible Well, similarities between people make life<br />

together much simpler. Being together involves compromise, and people can reach<br />

these compromises more easily when they share common values and interests. Sure,<br />

sometimes opposites can attract, but for a stable relationship bet on similarity.<br />

If you are already in a relationship that is marked by incompatibility based on any of the<br />

above factors and you decide to risk continuing, you could benefit from having a<br />

discussion with your partner in which you identify the areas of incompatibility and<br />

anticipate how these differences are likely to manifest themselves. Work out a plan for<br />

resolving these types of problems if they do occur. It would be helpful to have this<br />

discussion with a trained counselor. Remember it isn’t your fault or your partner’s fault<br />

that you are different.<br />

MY LOT<br />

A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked,<br />

"What are the grounds for your divorce"<br />

She replied, "About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property<br />

with a stream running by."<br />

"No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this case"<br />

"It is made of concrete, brick and mortar," she responded.<br />

"I mean," he continued, "What are your relations like"<br />

"I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband's parents."<br />

He said, "Do you have a real grudge"<br />

"No," she replied, "We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one."<br />

"Please," he tried again, "Is there any infidelity in your marriage"<br />

"Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don't necessarily like the<br />

music, but the answer to your questions is yes."<br />

"Ma'am, does your husband ever beat you up"<br />

"Yes," she responded, "about twice a week he gets up earlier than I do."<br />

Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, "Lady, why do you want a divorce"<br />

"Oh, I don't want a divorce," she replied. "I've never wanted a divorce.<br />

My husband does. He said he can't communicate with me."<br />
