THE HEAD of one arm of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) has come out in support of Detective Constable Carey Lyn-Shue, for speaking the truth about fabricating a statement against a man accused of murder.

Sergeant Dalton Scott, president of Cops for Christ - an extension of the Community Relations branch, yesterday commended Detective Constable Lyn-Shue for his honesty and said that his suspension from the JCF, after coming clean, might send the wrong message to others who might want to follow the same path.

"The penalty was too harsh. Some consideration must be given for his honesty and his integrity," said Sergeant Scott. "Others who would want to do the same would be afraid, so we are going right back to square one, where there is no truth."

Sergeant Scott said his mission was to 'Christianise' the JCF so its members might be truthful and display honesty in their actions.

"One of the six things that He (God) hates most is a false witness. So when someone fabricates, God is not pleased," said Scott. "This is what is lacking in the force, integrity from the top to bottom."
