After approximately four years in the job, Assistant Commissioner Kevin Blake, is to be re-assigned as Director of the premier intelligence sharing unit in the Jamaica Constabulary Force, the National Intelligence Bureau, NIB.
He’ll be transferred to Police Area 3 effective October 13.
ACP Blake, was put in charge of the NIB shortly after Owen Ellington was appointed Police Commissioner in 2010.
He was promoted to the rank of Assistant Commissioner in April last year.
ACP Blake is to be replaced as NIB Director by outgoing head of the Police Inspectorate Branch, Assistant Commissioner, Carlton Wilson.
Contacted this afternoon, ACP Wilson confirmed that he’s been asked to take up the job as NIB director.
The National Intelligence Bureau provides intelligence to the officer corps and operational units in the constabulary force.
The unit specializes in security intelligence and collaborates with local and international law enforcement agencies.
Nationwide News understands that the NIB was among at least two units in the Constabulary Force that Jamaica’s international partners recently expressed reservation about continuing to supply customary support.
