Education Ministry, JCF staging Anti-Gang Week

The Ministry of Education is collaborating with the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) in the staging of an inaugural Anti-Gang Week, aimed at steering youth away from criminal activities.
 
It is part of a special partnership involving the Ministry and JCF's Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime Investigation Branch (C-TOC) to engage at-risk youth using a more proactive approach.
 
Details of this initiative and other areas of collaboration were discussed at a high-level strategy meeting involving Education Minister Senator Ruel Reid and Assistant Commissioner of Police Fitz Bailey, head of C-TOC.
 
The meeting was at the Ministry's National Heroes' Circle location on Monday.
 
ACP Bailey told JIS News that the date for the event is yet to be finalised, but noted that the team is looking at sometime in May.
