The course which involved other participants from around the Caribbean community, various states in the U.S.A and international countries, has been offering courses and accepting Prison officers from the Antigua and Barbuda’s Correctional facility H.M Prison for over a period of 19 years.
The Prison officers who participated in this year’s course training reported that training included a fitness challenge, a plenary on the importance of mental health in relation to Prison officers, training of none lethal pepper ball spray to quell a prison riot and the use of advanced technology to improve prison security.

Does Antigua police have to go through any kind of physical training yearly?? I believe they need annual physical training as well as ethics training
LMAO!! You are so right. Lots of officers are overweight and unable to chase criminals. Apparently any and any diet will do for a police officer. All the rice pudden, bbq pigtails, fry chicken, souse, tripe, potato chips, rum, season rice, black cake, soda and Wadadli beer will clog the colon.
Even the sedentary lifestyle of their jobs is no excuse to be unfit and out of shape. This needa to be looked into urgently. No wonder them can’t find Thug Life. Even if they were to spot him, they wouldn’t be able to give chase.
Wouldn’t be surprised if NCDs are rampant within the force.
