The 2024-2025 LASCO\/JCF <em>Saluting Our Heroes<\/em> awardees led transformative, community-focused initiatives and were all promoted officers of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three officers were recognised by the LASCO Chin Foundation (LCF) for outstanding service last October and were later surprised with promotions announced during the awards ceremony. The gesture, which broke with JCF tradition, was widely seen as a dual endorsement of their leadership and the growing importance of officers making an impact in the communities they serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Foundation prepares to open nominations for the 2025-2026 awards, last year\u2019s honourees \u2013 two former constables and a former corporal \u2013 reflected on how the recognition has shaped their work and expanded their reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bigger Table<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Corporal Junior Thompson, who was named the 2024 LASCO Chairman\u2019s Award winner, said the honour provided a platform to elevate his initiatives and enter conversations around national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReceiving the LASCO Chairman\u2019s Award truly expanded my reach, giving me a seat at the table in important conversations about community and nation-building,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s laid a solid foundation for future success and opened the door for even greater impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to overseeing operations at Area 5 Headquarters in St Andrew North, Thompson leads the Cassava Piece Youth Employment and Education Centre \u2013 a facility in the same inner-city community where he grew up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want the legacy of today\u2019s JCF to reflect a force that\u2019s driven by transformation \u2013 a force for good, where every officer understands their role in building a better nation,\u201d Thompson explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cassava Piece Youth Employment and Education Centre hosts English and Mathematics CSEC classes, reading sessions for both children and adults, and community events through the Constant Spring Police Youth Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With help from the LASCO Chin Foundation and LASCO Ambassadors from the Nurses Association of Jamaica, Thompson led renovation efforts at the facility on Labour Day. He recalled the space prior to its transformation as \u201cnot a place that you could sit and learn,\u201d citing poor ventilation and poor infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thompson is positioning the centre as a hub for learning and growth. He hopes to evolve the space into a skills training centre, offering courses in barbering, construction, and electrical installation once it is fully furnished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last month, he hosted a back-to-school treat, distributing school supplies to 50 students during a day filled with fun activities and refreshments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Proud &amp; HYPE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also recognised was Corporal Moesha Allen, first runner-up for the 2024 Police of the Year title. She now serves as the sub-officer in charge of the Community Safety and Security Unit in the St Andrew South Division and is the founder of the Helping Youth Pursue Excellence (HYPE) Mentorship Programme, which supports at-risk youth. Allen was also honoured with a Prime Minister\u2019s Youth Award for Excellence for her contributions to nation-building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve seen up close the struggles that many communities face \u2013 the same kind I now serve \u2013 because I was born in one of them,\u201d said Allen, who is originally from Rockfort, East Kingston. \u201cI witnessed the effects of crime, family breakdown, and limited opportunities, and I knew I wanted to help make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She said the LASCO Chin Foundation played a critical role in supporting her HYPE initiative, especially through sponsorship of a three-week summer reading camp. More recently, she hosted a back-to-school treat for over 500 children, distributing school supplies, refreshments, and laptops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBeing named a LASCO ambassador validated the work I\u2019ve been doing in schools and communities. It reassures stakeholders that these [community] efforts are worth supporting,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allen\u2019s work extends beyond events. As a trained mentor with the Ministry of Justice\u2019s National Child Diversion Programme, she focuses on behaviour modification, conflict resolution, and building self-respect among youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPolicing for me is not just about enforcing the law. It\u2019s about building trust, restoring hope, and creating safer communities,\u201d said Allen who is also an ordained evangelist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Food for Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sergeant Shantel Watson, second runner-up and a near 10-year veteran of the force, serves with Area One of the Community Safety Branch. Her initiatives include a breakfast feeding programme in Salt Spring, a St James community that often grapples with high levels of violence and poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNutrition and technology are two vital areas for community development, as they promote growth and productivity,\u201d Watson noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The feeding programme has led to improved school attendance and deeper engagement between police and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs we meet the needs of these students, their parents are able to not just trust us, but partner with us,\u201d she said. \u201cThat makes policing easier and more effective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watson also hosts a weekly radio programme, providing safety tips, fielding questions, and strengthening the connection between law enforcement and the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPeople locally and abroad were able to access information and feel involved in what was happening in Area One \u2013 with their police and their communities,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She credits the <em>Saluting Our Heroes<\/em> programme&nbsp; for helping officers become better advocates for their projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s an avenue to help build effective leaders who can confidently communicate their projects to wider audiences \u2013 to help the public and stakeholders know the work officers of the JCF are doing in the communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting on the promotions of the LASCO honourees announced by Commissioner of Police Dr Kevin Blake at last year\u2019s awards ceremony Watson said: \u201cBeing recognised for community work is one thing, but having it influence my advancement in the Force was unforgettable. That moment with Commissioner Dr Blake is something I\u2019ll always treasure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>25 Years of Honours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The annual LASCO\/JCF Saluting Our Heroes Awards \u2013 hosted by the LASCO Chin Foundation in partnership with the Jamaica Constabulary Force \u2013&nbsp; is Jamaica\u2019s premier private-sector initiative celebrating excellence in policing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year\u2019s awards ceremony is slated to take place on Friday, October 24, 2025 under the theme: <em>\u201cTransforming through PQT: Celebrating Our Heroes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now in its 25th year, the programme honours officers across the island who exemplify integrity, service, and a commitment to nation-building. Winners are selected based on operational performance, community involvement, leadership, communication, and national awareness. The programme\u2019s highest honour, the Chairman\u2019s Award, recognises one officer whose work stands out for long-term impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>For more information, contact Carlette DeLeon at<\/em> 876<em>-393-9768 or email<\/em> <a href=\"mailto:media@breakthroughall.com\"><em>media@breakthroughall.com<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kingston, Jamaica: &#8211; For Corporals Junior Thompson and Moesha Allen, along with Sergeant Shantel Watson, their year as Top Cops has proven to be quite momentous.
