MORE COPS OUT - Acting police commissioner fires 10 of his charges

Jamaica Gleaner News"Ten more members of the police force have been fired by acting Commissioner of Police Owen Ellington as he continues to wield the strap against corrupt cops.

The latest list, published yesterday in the Jamaica Constabulary Force Orders, includes a cop who 'borrowed' and spent money he collected at a money-transfer company on behalf of a prisoner.

In addition, Ellington has demoted two cops for conduct not becoming a member of the force.

The measures come days after Superintendent Harry 'Bungles' Daley was found guilty of corruption charges, and three other members of the force were retired in the public interest.

In the latest development, Ellington sent home eight constables and two corporals, while demoting a corporal to the rank of constable, and stripping a woman sergeant of her stripes, reducing her to the rank of corporal.

The names of the 12 have been withheld by The Gleaner because they have the right of appeal."
