The Police Force, the Fire Brigade, and His Majesty\u2019s Prison will have their nomenclature altered to reflect the modernized functions of these three institutions.<\/p>\n

The new laws will identify these institutions as: The Police Service<\/strong>, The Fire and Rescue Service Department<\/strong>, and the Antigua and Barbuda Correction Facility.<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

They will become the new names by which those reformed institutions are thenceforth known.<\/p>

These changes are not cosmetic.<\/p>\n
