Police Commissioner Atlee Rodney has accepted a Deputy Director role with the Regional Security System (RSS) in Barbados, making him the first Antiguan and Barbudan in such a high-ranking position. Attorney General Cutie Benjamin, who encouraged Rodney to take the role, highlighted its significance for both Rodney and the nation. Prime Minister Gaston Browne also supported the move. As Rodney prepares for pre-retirement leave, plans are underway to appoint his successor.

Congratulations 👏 best wishes
I heard the news from ‘school children’ on Friday, and was wondering if he jumped or was pushed.
But apparently he is moving on to greater things. Lots of our Police and Sodiers have been trained by, and have done work for, the RSS.
It can only get better for us, having this adopted son of the soil there as deputy director.
It all makes sense now. All the time ‘what’s his name there ‘, the ex Police, wanna be journalist, whose writings has been described in this forum as verbal diahrea. All the times he was criticizing Rodney, all the times he was saying ill about the force, I was wondering why Rodney never responded to him. Now I know he was not gonna be distracted by asses. You are greater than them.
An Antiguan?
It’s probably because he is Dominican, he got it.
All these regional bodies have windward islanders as part of their workforce, yet we pay contributions just like every one else.
well Ashworth NOZEAL is DOMINICAN too!!! So is that why he got picked over S. Gomes??? A born and bred Antiguan??? UPP WIKKID NO WAH!!!!
Mr. Rodney. We wish you well in your new position. Just one thing before you go. Are you or who is taking over the chair going to deal with the police brutality of the 81-year old man?
Mmmmmmmmmmm, Jesus help us…..
Good riddance to bad rubbish. The worse commissioner in our history. He took the crown from Vere Browne who UPP hired and fired. But more importantly with useless Cutie in charge there is no succession plan in the Police Force. In the past, officers with potential were sent to the UK and FBI for training to manage a police force. None pf that has happened for years. Potter and Buckley had been sent to Australia for senior officers training back in the early 80s.
Good riddance !!! I say.
Still waiting for an update to the judicial murder of Nigel Christian
While gangs are running the streets and crime is on the rise in Antigua, he sends a riot squad to confrnt peaceful demonstrators in Barbuda; then flood Codrington with police presence.
Weeks before that it was three Cadets from the over 40 new recruits.
How about having you police carry out their jobs and accept notices to be served when asked?
He has nade the Royal Police nothing more than a political tool and nothing else.
Good riddance
We will soon say GOOD RIDDANCE to the WICKED, USELESS, CORRUPT AND INCOMPETENT BPM COUNCIL in Barbuda
I wish him well as he transitions to chart a new course in his career path.
Blessings
@ Smh,
It ain’t going to happen. That wish will never be realized for you are just projecting. Appears as if you are taking about Gaston Brown
Some say you are trying to use reverse physiology.
I miss you already
He was a good commissioner. Still is. Number 1. Not corrupt.
All cook up. He need to take a break. All the best.
Congrats to the best police commissioner in ANU
This sounds kinda mix up to me. According to the article they knew he was going and even encouraged him to take the job. So how come they are now looking for a replacement ? Just asking.
