Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2015, Hanban and the Chinese government introduced the Chinese language programme to the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF). According to the JCF 2016 Annual Report, the JCF and the People's Republic of China collaborated to deliver the first Mandarin course to 65 JCF members in 2016. On 11 August 2017, 50 police officers from Jamaica and two police officers from Suriname were awarded certificates for a Chinese training course at National Police College of Jamaica (NPCJ). On 31 August 2018, 68 police officers from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Suriname were awarded certificates of completion for a Chinese training course at the Jamaica Police Academy. On 2 August 2019, 78 police officers from Jamaica and two police officers from Suriname were awarded certificates of completion for a Chinese training course at the Jamaica Police Academy. These Chinese training courses help Jamaican police understand the Chinese language and culture.

Staff comments

The Chinese language programme and the Chinese training course at the Jamaica Police Academy may be separate programs, however they both began in 2015 and were funded by the People's Republic of China and Hanban.
