In a Christmas message to members of the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda,  acting Commissioner Atlee Rodney has called for an improvement to the working conditions of police officers.<\/p>

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

He said in his message that as we prepare to enter into 2019, there are a number of issues which we have faced in 2018 that will follow us into the New Year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“One of the major challenges is the condition of our workplaces,” Rodney told rank and file members.<\/p>

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

“We are being asked to serve and perform in offices and buildings that are not conducive for the task at hand,” he added.<\/p>

He called upon the Executive Arm of Government to “address our infrastructural woes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acting commissioner said “our production level will suffer if there is no immediate action taken, with regards to the state of our buildings and offices.”<\/p>

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

“Exhibits and cases will be affected; health issues will continue to plague our officers which will lower our efficiency on the job,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I urge our Minister and our Permanent Secretary to be the driving forces behind this cause,<\/g> and use their expertise and influence to have this critical matter addressed early in the New Year,” Rodney added.<\/p>
