President's Message

Who we are as Jamaicans? We come from the third largest island in the Caribbean, which also is the largest English speaking country in the Caribbean. Jamaica’s national motto ‘Out of Many One People’, is based on Jamaica’s history of multiracial roots. Today the largest proportion of Jamaicans in the diaspora resides in New York City. Therefore, the Jamaican American Law Enforcement Organization aka JAmLEO was formed. Jamaicans are steadily increasing and contributing to the positive cultural diversity of New York City and the department. JAmLEO’S purpose is to create a stronger bond between its members, the NYPD and the Jamaican communities here and oversees.  Also, we seek to teach culture competency and awareness of the rich culture of Jamaica.  JAmLEO stands united and proud of our Jamaican heritage. We cherish the importance of supporting the community, the department and our members. The future for JAmLEO is bright. With our membership growing exponentially members shall unite and take part in this historic moment.
