On Tuesday, a special service was held at the Sir Wright George Police Academy to honor six police officers for their extraordinary dedication to policing in Antigua and Barbuda.

National Security Minister and Attorney General, Sir Steadroy Benjamin, along with Police Commissioner Atlee Rodney, attended the event and presented the Meritorious Awards.

Commissioner Rodney encouraged the six officers, who have each served the force for over 40 years, to utilize their experiences to inspire others within the police force.

He emphasized the importance of focusing on their journey and being role models for their colleagues.
