Using the Jamaican Flag

Don’t get caught defacing the flag – that means placing objects, letters or other artwork and design elements on the flag. Try and avoid designs that trim the flag in a way that can be seen as diminishing the dignity of the most recognisable symbol of Jamaican nationhood.

For official approval for use of the flag or any other national symbol in a design, enclose the proposed artwork in a letter that explains how the design will be used to:

Chief of State Protocol

The Chancery

Office of the Prime Minister

1 Devon Road, Kingston 10 

Plan your activities to accommodate a few weeks for review and discussion towards a favourable official response. 

The guide on using the physical flag can be downloaded from the OPM website at http://www.opm.gov.jm/NationalSymbols or directly from the Special Section of the JIS website  http://www.jis.gov.jm/special_sections/This%20Is%20Jamaica/  . The site also has information on the use of other national symbols.

Tips for the Summer from the Jamaica Constabulary Force

Media notice:
The JCF is seeking the assistance of the media in promulgating rape safety tips.

We are approaching the start of the summer holidays. This is the time when most children and teenagers are either at home or are engaged in numerous activities which require them to be on the streets more often than they would be when in schools.

Analysis over the years indicates that during the summer holidays, there is an increase in the number of sexual offences perpetrated against children and teenagers. Therefore, during this period, it is necessary to promulgate certain safety tips to the general public.

Rape and carnal abuse are heinous crimes which cause untold hardship to victims. Please assist by increasing the level of awareness.
