Alright this will be my shortest blog post ever! While driving on the main highway between Montego Bay and Ocho Rios we saw a pretty decent car accident. This police cruiser was at the scene and I noticed the bumper with a phone number on it: 1-800-CORRUPT. It seemed pretty funny to me considering the stereotype about Jamaican police LOL!
Does ANYONE know what this number is for? We’ve never seen it on any other police vehicles and I really should have called it before I left Jamaica, but I never did. Does anyone on the island want to volunteer and report back to let us know what this number is for?

cops and corruption seem to be married in Jamaica, only people worse are the politicians ^^

Alright everyone, thanks to a friend of mine who did some googling, we now know what the number is for. It’s actually quite sad that Jamaica has this number LOL!!
Here’s the link to explain it.

I agree because I know some. I actually think this is a great PRO-active step in cleaning up the bad apples.
