Former Assistant Commissioner Says Police Commissioner Lacks Courage, Calls Force \u2018Non-Functional\u2019<\/strong><\/p>

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

Retired Assistant Commissioner of Police Nuffield Burnett has delivered a blistering critique of the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda, describing it as \u201cnon-functional\u201d and led by a commissioner who \u201cdoesn\u2019t have anything named courage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burnett made the remarks during the United Progressive Party\u2019s Vehicle Gate<\/em> town hall meeting, where a panel of former civil servants, attorneys, and political figures discussed the alleged multimillion-dollar government vehicle scandal. Speaking candidly, Burnett said the police force has reached its lowest point in history, plagued by weak leadership and a lack of integrity.<\/p>

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

He said the Royal Police Force \u201cis in the worst state at present that it has ever been,\u201d adding that \u201cnotwithstanding that in recent times we would have heard and seen a lot of officers being successful in their studies and getting good grades,\u201d the organization\u2019s condition has deteriorated. \u201cAcquiring degrees\u2014this is the worst we have seen the Royal Police Force. There is the head of the constabulary who doesn\u2019t have anything named courage,\u201d Burnett said.<\/p>

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

He told the audience that courage, not credentials, defines effective policing. \u201cIn these institutions, you must have a measure of courage,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not about all these degrees and scholarships, as the prime minister has been telling us about. You must have courage and integrity about you. You cannot do a good job without those in place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burnett argued that the police administration must first \u201cget its act together\u201d before it can properly fulfill its mandate under the law. He insisted that every police officer has a legal and moral duty to investigate crimes once they become aware of an offense, regardless of who is involved.<\/p>

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

He added that \u201conce you get wind of an offense or a crime, it\u2019s your responsibility to investigate.\u201d However, he noted that some investigations cannot be carried out without government support. Referring to the vehicle scandal, he said police would need that support, which is why the Director of Public Prosecutions should take the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burnett also reminded the audience that the term \u201calleged\u201d simply means \u201cnot yet proven in a court of law.\u201d He warned that the failure of the police hierarchy to act decisively erodes public confidence and undermines the rule of law.<\/p>

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

He concluded that the force must \u201cget its act together, get some fortitude, and go do their job\u2014the job they are mandated to do by law,\u201d adding that courage and integrity are what Antigua and Barbuda need most \u201cstarting with those entrusted to uphold its laws.\u201d<\/p>
