What is Bungles' claim to fame?
Published: Thursday | December 17, 2009
Remember the infamous Inspectorate Division created in the mid-1990s and nicknamed 'Never Never Land'?
Well, Bungles was banished there to face the wrath of temporary exile - where cops felt they were being punished for wrongs - known and unknown.
Superintendent Harry Daley would later emerge from 'Never Never Land' and continue his rise through the ranks of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF).
Daley was recruited as a member of the JCF in 1978.
He served in the Mobile Reserve Division and was later transferred to the Police Information Centre (PIC) in 1979.
This section is now called the Constabulary Communication Network (CCN).
In 1980, he was transferred to Squad 103 where he spent three years before moving to the Operation Squad, when it was established in 1983.
Alma mater
Bungles, a graduate of St Jago High School, was successful in the Accelerated Promotion Course in 1990 and was promoted to the rank of Inspector.
In 1991, he was transferred to the Portland Division and was inspector in charge of Buff Bay.
He also did stints in St Catherine North and South; St Andrew South; Kingston Central, Motorised Patrol, among others.
Bungles was also a manager of the JCF football team.
Bungles went to police the tough west Kingston and when he was transferred the people there, who are known to take on the security forces, howled in protest.
They did not want to see him go when he was dispatched to 'Never Never Land'.
Bungles has demonstrated that he is not a remotely bashful man.
The police superintendent is no stranger to controversy and he has always lived to fight again.
