EDITOR’S NOTE

It has been a long road since the last newsletter was published by the Jamaica Police
Federation. In March 1976 this newsletter was called the “Federal.” It is now forty-
three years later and we are revisiting this avenue for sharing information with our
members. We do hope you enjoy the new incarnation of “The Beat”. We would love to
hear from you as your input is of paramount importance to us. Let us know what you
would like to see included in upcoming issues and we will make sure that “The Beat”
keeps the the pulse of the Federation.

Until next Quarter, One Love, Serving our Protectors.

Jacqueline Brown, Inspector
Director Communication.
