Police in Antigua and Barbuda have sought assistance from the United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as investigators review several long-standing unsolved cases, officials revealed during a media briefing at Police Headquarters on American Road.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Albert Wade said the force’s cold case unit is now operational and has begun reviewing files connected to investigations that have remained unresolved for years.
He disclosed that external support has already been requested to help advance the work.
“To begin with, this top story, the Federal Bureau of Investigations has been contacted to provide assistance in reviewing several court cases being reviewed by the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda,” Wade said, explaining that cold cases refer to matters that have remained unsolved for many years.
Officials did not identify which specific investigations are being examined by the unit.
Authorities said the government has pledged to provide whatever resources may be required to support the effort. According to the update, investigators are actively reviewing case files in an attempt to generate new leads.
“I believe that pretty soon you may see some traction as we try to shed new light on those cases,” one official said while outlining the progress of the review process.
The developments come as the Royal Police Force continues broader efforts to address crime and improve investigative outcomes.
Commissioner of Police Everton Jeffers used the briefing to reassure the public that the police remain actively engaged in ongoing investigations and are working to protect communities.
“The general public [should] know that we’re not sitting down idly by doing nothing,” Jeffers said. “Many of these investigations are still ongoing and we’re working and doing the very best we can with what we have.”
He stressed that public cooperation remains critical to solving crimes and advancing investigations.
“And we need your support more than anything else. Without you we would accomplish very little,” Jeffers said. “Continue to support the police. Continue to pass on the information that you have to the police. If you see something, say something.”
Police said the cold case reviews will continue, with investigators working alongside international partners and encouraging anyone with information that could assist in unresolved matters to come forward.

We might as well hand over the CID to the FBI.
Crime solving requires tge bedt policing mind.
The bedt investigators should be at tge forefront leading the investigations.
However when demoralized men are puffy to investigate matters as serious as murder the result is death of tge investigation and calling on FBI years later.
Who is to be blamed?
Presently it is Jeffers and his band.
When hard working and dedicated officers ate overlooked for the reward of promotion and loveable friends are promoted the results will be more cold cases.
For those who just see police officers in uniform and believe that they are competent, you are wrong.
There are too many senior officers in khaki uniforms who cannot put a proper English sentence together.
There are too many in khaki uniforms who cannot hold a lecture with three new recruits.
Too many senior officers who could not answer a journalist if asked what day of the week today is.
This problem will worsen as long as people are promoted and juniors are used to shield them.
Too many are elevated and hidden so that their contact with the public is minimal to none to hide their incompetence.
Isn’t it ludicrous t hat a senior officer at the scene of a murder could not say to the press that “we have a suspected homicide. The victim is a male. A suspected gunshot. ” and such simple information.
It is tge delay in waiting for Frankie Thomas to issue a press statement full of nothing hours and in some instances a day later that results in more cold cases than ice in a freezer.
Until the police administration and the police service commission become the professionals that they talk about, the policr force will slip closer and closer to becoming obsolete.
The time is quickly approaching when gandmgs will be the investigators of crime and vigilante justice is the order of the day.
A police force is as good as its commissioner.
The commissioner is as good as his support team
The support team is as good as the police service commission gives .
I cant wait to see where the police service commission will transfer the inspector assigned to drive the public safety minister soon.
That will be the joke of the past four centuries!!!!!!
Where will the inspector assigned to the prime minister be utilized when he is moved?
Daycare require teachers.
However not all who wear the police uniform can teach.
Alas Antigua!!!
You are steadily sinking into an abyss of redicule lead by ths police and their INCOMPETENCE!!!!!!
