  1. Congratulations to Everton Jeffers on his appointment as Police Commissioner for Antigua.

    You have a tougher than tough job on your hands, but over the last month or so, I can see the green shoots of growth in attempting to tackle serious crimes.

    I’m hoping that you have an independent mindset and that you are allowed to do your job properly without undue interference from the ABLP government. Antiguans are relying on you sir to stem the tide of growing criminal activities – especially gun crimes.

    Again, all the best and good luck 👍🏾

  2. Congratulations Commissioner! Well deserve! Hes not perfect but a man of integrity and honesty. God bless you Pastor.

  4. Please show us your independence from political interference and open the investigations into the Broncogate. You can start with your own in house investigation and let the evidences lead you to the truth. You will want to have the assistance of international investigators on your team.

  5. He has been put out dry to prove his loyalty and fiefdom to Gaston and Cutie Benjamin.

    He has proven he has proven he is with the program on several occasions for seeing the little man and woman feels the weight of the law.

    Politicians and the well connected get a pass. At the end, it’s a job well done; and a knighthood is in order like icing on the cake.

  6. Keep politics out, we need results on Chantel Crump, Khalil Simon, and Yenifer. Too much covering up. Chantel’s family is very silent too, they need pressure on the system.

  8. A decisive appointment. Confirming Everton Jeffers brings much-needed stability to the top of the force, especially with ongoing concerns about crime and public safety.
