The Ministry of National Security and Peace refutes claims that Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Security and Peace, Hon. Dr. Horace Chang, is hospitalised.
Dr. Chang, who underwent elective surgery in late 2025, has been recovering well since being discharged. The Minister did not suffer a health emergency, and such rumours are baseless and fictitious.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Security and Peace, Hon. Dr. Horace Chang, has declared the Major Organised Crime & Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA) as a pillar of law enforcement after the Agency recorded an outstanding 93% conviction rate.
The Security Minister was speaking at the Agency’s Strategic Management Retreat held at the AC Marriott on Wednesday (October 15).
In a powerful display of prosecutorial precision, MOCA recorded a 93.75% conviction rate over the last two years, with 30 out of 32 cases resulting in convictions and two acquittals.
The Government of Jamaica is on track to meet the medium-term goal of providing the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) with 4,000 body-worn cameras (BWCs), reinforcing its commitment to transparency, accountability, and professionalism within the nation’s law enforcement framework.
The JCF has received 1,000 BWCs in FY 2025-2026 and is far advanced in the acquisition of an additional 1,000 for FY 2026-2027.
Minister of State in the Ministry of National Security and Peace, the Hon. Juliet Cuthbert-Flynn has commended the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) for its pivotal role in advancing peace and justice, citing the Department’s contributions to rehabilitation, reintegration and reduced recidivism as key factors in Jamaica’s improving national security landscape.
Minister of State in the Ministry of National Security and Peace, the Hon. Juliet Cuthbert-Flynn, is heaping praise on members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), for the exemplary service and dedication they continue to exhibit.
She made the remarks during the LASCO/JCF Saluting Our Heroes Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, December 17, at an event held at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in Kingston, to mark 25 years of partnership between the entities.
“Awardees, you are, in fact, more than police officers, you are catalysts for hope and agents of transformation,” declares Minister of State in the Ministry of National Security and Peace, the Hon. Juliet Cuthbert-Flynn.
