LETTER: Do Our Police Understand the Law They Enforce?

Police recruits

Dear Editor,

Today I learned more about how tremendously dunce MOST (not all, just most) of the police officers are in Antigua and Barbuda Royal Police Force

Today I learned from a CID officer in Antigua and Barbuda that you can’t report a crime that occurred in Antigua and Barbuda if you are not present in Antigua and Barbuda. (Ignorance)

Today, from Bolans Police department, a Sargent said motor-vehicle theft/larceny doesn’t exist in Antigua law (so I am guessing it is not unlawful to steal or commit larceny of vehicles in Antigua and Barbuda) according to the police Sargent stationed in Bolans Village police station at about 8:38am on 02/02/2026. (Ignorance)

An officer at CID also said there are no apprehension assault laws in Antigua and Barbuda. So, I am guessing it is not unlawful to brandish or point a gun at anyone unless and only becomes unlawful when you fire the weapon and the bullet makes impact to the person or property. (Ignorance)

Why no such law exists in Antigua and Barbuda based on what the officers said? Is it that no such law exists or that the officers are highly incompetent fools? 

I vote it is the latter (incompetent fools). I am so sorry for the citizens of Antigua and Barbuda. You deserve better trained and educated officers.

  1. A good amount of the “bigger heads” Insp, ASP, Supt, ACP, DC, COP are empty headed individuals….

  2. These people don’t even know the basics and are being elevated to high positions like Sargeants, and then teaching those they are supervising these same inaccurate ignorance. Making it near impossible for police reports to be filed, data to be collected and criminals held responsible.

    And you can teach these dumb idiots because they are talking over you and do not have the slightest clue they are dunces, ignorant and incompetent.

  3. I dropped out of school I didn’t really like it, I looking work all over the place and only thing available is the Police Force so I joined…I learn how to use firearms, shave neatly and iron my uniform till it burn and how to enforce the law by shouting and being a bully. The reading and learning the law part of the course was the hardest I dunno if I remember everything but anyway I a Police officer and I should be respected but because I don’t really have any upstairs I believe that means I can do and say what I want because I am a Police officer….
