Acting Police Commissioner Everton Jeffers is set to become the new Police Commissioner, as confirmed by Prime Minister Gaston Browne on Saturday.
Jeffers has been serving in an acting capacity following the resignation of Police Commissioner Atlee Rodney, who accepted a role as Deputy Director with the Regional Security System (RSS) in Barbados—the first Antiguan and Barbudan to hold such a position. Rodney, currently on leave, endorsed Jeffers as his successor.
Jeffers, who joined the Police Force in 1982 and became Deputy Commissioner in 2019, has held various key positions, including in Immigration, Narcotics, and Police Training. He has undergone extensive leadership training and is a qualified Polygraph and Lie Detection Examiner.
Recently honored with the King’s Police Medal (K.P.M.), Jeffers’ decades of service have earned him recognition as a dedicated and respected law enforcement officer. His appointment is expected to bring promotions for younger officers poised to lead the force in the future.

Congrats to Everton Jeffers! Big responsibility, but I hope he brings real change to the force.
New Commissioner, new era? Let’s see if he can clean up some of the issues in the police force.
Wishing him all the best! The country needs strong leadership in law enforcement right now.
Hope Mr. Jeffers is ready for the job because Antigua need some serious law and order right now.
Big up to Mr. Jeffers! He has some real work ahead, but we supporting him if he does the right thing.
The country needs serious leadership in policing, so I hope Everton Jeffers is ready to step up.
Is he Antiguan? All his wan know
We have a lof of Jeffers in Antigua but you really can’t tell. We need Antiguans as head of our ports!
What a day!!!! I thought the retirement of Rodney was good news for the force. I cautioned that this could be a very bad thing if the political directorate didn’t make the right choice. They have. This is the worst news that any police officer could wake up to. Rodney had made Mis Christopher looked like an angel. Now we have appointed Jeffers and made Rodney look like Mr Peele. This without a doubt is the WORST decision concerning the force ever to be made in its history. I am saying it now and time will prove me right. A first year state college student would have been a better choice than Jeffers. The political directorate have overlooked Mr Wade simply because they want to be the defacto commissioner. Jeffers does not have policing knowledge. He does not have leadership knowledge and experience. He does not have administrative knowledge. If the public think Rodney was like a black, stranger lost in the Chinese capital then Jeffers is WORSERER. I thought for the love of Antigua and in the interest of public safety that the politicians would put aside their hatred and fear for Mr Wade. However it is obvious that their political blindness is greater than their love for country. They are happy to have another toy to push around.
Bring back the LGBTQIA Commissioner
We don’t recognise no babylon system
We just went from bad to worst!
Labourites will dance to any song played by Gaston Browne and tell you it’s the best music that they have ever heard. The appoingm of jeffers is the worst decision made by this cabal in its eleven years. Is jeffers being appointed as police commissioner or pastor. I do not have a problem with a police commissioner being a man of God. However Jeffers much “chose ye this day whom ye shall serve”. Acting as commissioner for a few days in the absence of the commissioner does not qualify one for the job. Jeffers is the absolute worst choice and it will be brought to light very shortly. The politicians must do what’s best for the police force and the appointment of Jeffers is certainly not the best. If jeffers is the “man of God” who he claims to be he will know that he is not prepared nor deserving of that job. However it is not all those who say “Lord, Lord” are saved and ready for the kingdom!!!
Lol the puppeteer is in the background pulling strings lololol

Way to go sir.
Congrats 👏
A man of God is our new commissioner. We should see some difference
First Indegenuous Antigua / Barbadian to Lead the Force in Decades ! Long overdue and it is asinine and a National Security Risk to have Non Nationals in Charge of Our Police Force. Remember Robinson Now Alexander …,
We are taking a backward step to appoint this man to be the Commissioner of Police.The Crimirals are laughing at this decision.This man is not Suitable for this Position.Time will tell.The Police Force is at a all time low in Policing this Country.Time will tell concerning this decision.
Let’s now see how good you are in turning this force around in terms of moral, and fighting crimes, especially these unsolved murders and missing persons
Congratulations Mr Jeffers. You have very big shoes to fill and I wish you the best in executing your duties with dignity
