Currently only\u00a0some officers are able to receive uniforms, while others in need have to continue wearing their less than perfect police gear.

My question as a Police officer is if we are important to society as government says why we aren\u2019t treated with some level of respect like the other agencies of government.<\/p>\n<p>Second, currently the Police and Fire Department especially currently we are short staff. While we can understand that the government right now is supposedly tight with finances, how can it be that the Police and especially the Fire Department needs more persons to staff\u00a0\u00a0both agency\u2019s properly and we cannot get the much needed staff required to efficiently serve the needs of the nation but currently school children says an election is on the horizon and other government agencies are hiring person like crazy but both the Police and Fire Department were told no because the government is cash strapped.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2394764591\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>AS things stand both the Police and especially the Fire Department is on skeleton staff, and holidays for officer at both agencies are planned very diligently due to staff shortages. Some officers have had their vacation and retirement but off due to the shortage in staff. A couple weeks ago in the summer on ABS Television\/Radio the Fire Chief Mr. Elvis Weaver was pleading for more Fire Officers and up to this day the government has not acted with any urgency to address our plight but other agencies of the government we are told are hiring like crazy and we are just as important as they are to the country. We as Police and Fire officers are very disappointed in this development.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, the world right now is in a health crisis. Currently what obtains at the Police and Fire Department is cleaning and hygiene supplies for officers are scarce and non avaliable at times. The officers of both agencies are human being as such should be treated as human beings, and their lives matters like anyone else\u2019s. Police and Fire Officer are currently working in a very unsafe working environment which is also dangerous to the general public, since persons visit the stations to make reports and can be exposed to hazards.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2560782851\" class=\"antig-content_3 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiguabarbudaculinarymonth.com\/\" aria-label=\"CM key_WEB 1300x300_1\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1301\/h:301\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1301\/h:301\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 1301w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:69\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:237\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:178\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1301\" height=\"301\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Some member of the public who have come to various stations across the island to make reports have been amazed how officers of both agency work in such atrocious conditions and commend us for the dedication we have shown to serve and protect them.
