Firearm Licensing Authority

What a day! 💪🏾

Our teams came together to make a real difference at children’s homes and schools across Jamaica. Brighter spaces, meaningful support, and plenty of heart went into every effort.

Big thanks to every team member who gave their time and energy to help make a positive impact in the lives of our children and communities. 🇯🇲

Mission accomplished!

The real reward of service is the impact we leave behind.

Today is about more than paint and tools, it is about giving back and building together.

The work continues across all four locations!

National development is a shared responsibility, and today, action takes center stage.

For Labour Day 2026, the FLA team is officially on the ground across four locations working to uplift, restore, and beautify local communities.

Follow along today to see the impact unfolding across all four locations.

The Firearm Licensing Authority (FLA) acknowledges the recent tabling in Parliament on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, concerning the non-filing of Statutory Declarations with the Integrity Commission involving four (4) former employees of the Authority.

The FLA wishes to make it unequivocally clear that the individuals referenced are no longer employed by the Authority and had all resigned prior to the due date for the filing of the applicable Statutory Declarations for the reporting period ending December 2023.

The Authority further notes that the filing of Statutory Declarations is an individual responsibility governed by the Integrity Commission Act. As such, the FLA had no control over the failure of the former employees to submit their declarations following their separation from the organisation.

✨️Highlights from our 20th Anniversary Kick-Off Event ✨️

On April 2, 2026, the Firearm Licensing Authority officially launched its 20th Anniversary celebrations with a memorable kick-off event at its Head Office. Staff and key stakeholders, including Micheal Morgan, Chief Technical Director with the Ministry of National Security and Peace, came together for an evening filled with energy, reflection, and appreciation.

Attendees were taken on a meaningful journey, revisiting the Authority’s origins while celebrating its key milestones. The evening also featured special recognition of team members whose long service has contributed to the FLA’s 20th milestone.

On March 1, 2026, FLA proudly marked 20 years of precision, integrity, and public service.

Please be advised that on Thursday, April 2, 2026, the Firearm Licensing Authority’s Regional Offices will close early to facilitate a staff event.

We encourage all licence holders to plan their visits accordingly.

Honouring 20 years of precision, integrity, and public service.🇯🇲

We officially commenced our 20th anniversary observances with a commemorative church service at the Kingston Open Bible Church, marking a significant milestone in our history.

This occasion provided an opportunity to reflect on two decades of dedicated service, operational excellence, and the strong values that continue to guide us as a regulatory body.

As we celebrate this achievement, we remain committed to upholding the highest standards while continuing to regulate Jamaica’s private firearm industry and contribute to national security.
