The police are working real hard with cleaning up the streets. And if these criminals would begin speaking we would know the heads behind these crimes
Cheers to the journey of a cleaner, safer Antigua!
Can we tip our hats to the hard working policw officers. Anyone who doesnt admit there has been a major improvement is simply dishonest.
Our new police commissionerand head of CID are working. In the last month I can recall that over 10 Gun removed from the streets
Atlee Rodney was just not cutting it. Thank God he left. Look at the difference in crime fighting under Jeffers. Good riddance Atlee, go back to Dominica
Until they stop the the guns from coming in, I’m not celebrating anything,nada.
Until they start locking up these Mafia Bosses in Antigua that are bringing in these weapons, I’m far from giving any credit to any law enforcement officer, None, Nada!
Poor people do not run organize criminal enterprises, not unless you’re Haiti with no elected Government.
Is that what Antigua is? I certainly hope not!
We certainly can’t say now that the police are not working
Continue to do a great work. Bring them dirty boys in their cages where they can no longer frustrate us
