UPDATE: Antiguan Police Commissioner Atlee Rodney Appointed Deputy Director of Regional Security System
UPDATE: Police Commissioner Atlee Rodney has accepted a role as Deputy Director with the Regional Security System (RSS) in Barbados, as announced by Attorney General Cutie Benjamin.
This decision marks a notable moment for the nation, as it will be the first time an Antiguan and Barbudan holds such a high-ranking position within the RSS.
Attorney General Benjamin revealed that it was during a recent meeting that Rodney shared the opportunity presented to him.
After considering the attractive benefits of the position, Benjamin encouraged the Commissioner to accept the offer, recognizing the importance of the role not just for Rodney but also for representing Antigua and Barbuda on a regional stage.
Following this conversation, Benjamin quickly informed Prime Minister Browne, who voiced his full support for Rodney’s career advancement.
The Attorney General emphasized that this appointment would enhance security efforts throughout the region and showcase the esteem with which the nation is regarded in the realm of national security.
As plans are being made to find a successor for the Commissioner’s role upon his return from vacation and subsequent pre-retirement leave, this transition reflects both personal growth for Rodney and a vital step forward for the nation’s presence in regional security initiatives.
