The Financial Investigations Division (FID), the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA), and the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) have launched a new collaborative public-education initiative designed to strengthen the country’s response to financial crimes (including scams, fraud, and money laundering and encourage greater public reporting.
Beginning December 1, 2025, and continuing through August 30, 2026, specially crafted time-signal announcements will air across the nation’s number 1 radio station Irie FM and sister station Zip 103 FM.
The signals will encourage Jamaicans to report information related to financial crimes or to come forward if they have been victimised.
The initiative follows a teleconference on November 17 involving the heads of all three agencies, who agreed that time signals offer a cost-effective and high-impact communication tool to reach the public consistently across a nine-month period.
This collaboration builds on the longstanding strategic partnerships outlined in previous memoranda of understanding signed by the agencies, reaffirming their joint commitment to protecting Jamaica’s financial system and citizens.
Director-General of MOCA, Colonel Desmond Edwards, said the campaign will help in the protection of more Jamaicans.
And Chief Technical Director of the FID, Dennis Chung said the initiative is another step in combatting financial crimes.
For his part, Police Commissioner Dr. Kevin Blake said the JCF supports the united effort fully.
He noted that each tip, every report, strengthens investigations and helps dismantle criminal networks that threaten national security.”
Communications teams across the three agencies will jointly review performance, produce audio content, and monitor the time signals.
Adjustments will be made as needed throughout the campaign to ensure alignment with emerging trends, investigative priorities, and data insights.
