The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda<\/a><\/strong> has introduced a Gun Amnesty<\/strong> initiative, effective April 7 to April 30, 2025<\/strong>, aimed at reducing gun violence and removing illegal firearms and ammunition from the nation\u2019s streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This significant initiative is being implemented under the careful and professional supervision of the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda<\/a><\/strong>. During the amnesty period, individuals are encouraged to voluntarily surrender illegal firearms and ammunition without fear of arrest or prosecution.<\/p>

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

Additionally, the government is also offering rewards for credible information<\/strong> that leads to the successful recovery of illegal weapons. Residents can be assured that all police stations have been equipped and prepared to facilitate the safe and discreet handling of this process.<\/p>

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

The Police Administration is appealing to the public to fully support this effort, which is intended to enhance public safety and preserve the peace and security of Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All information shared with the police during this amnesty will be treated with strict confidentiality<\/strong>. Let us work together to keep our communities safe and free from the threats of illegal firearms.<\/p>
