A couple who recently visited the twin-island tourist destination is showering a police constable in the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda with high praises for his exemplary work.
The vistors, who were vacationing on the island, experienced the unfortunate incident of having their iPhone-15 stolen from them.
A complaint was filed at the Criminal Investigations Department, and Constable Cedric Nelson who was on duty carried out investigations into the matter.
The accused was later arrested and charged and taken before the court, where he pleaded guilty and was fined $500 forthwith.
In a letter to the Commissioner of Police, Constable Nelson was praised for his exemplary performance and dedication to duty. It says, “His exemplary performance and commitment to duty truly went above and beyond what one might typically expect. From the moment the matter was reported, Constable Nelson demonstrated remarkable skills.
He kept us informed throughout the entire process, providing timely updates which alleviated most of our concerns.”
They said what was most impressive, is his relentless determination to track the device. “He utilized various resources and methods to gather information, and he was consistent and thorough. We were particularly impressed by his willingness to engage communities and leverage connections to locate our phone.”
They further commented, “His professionalism, integrity, and tenacity are commendable traits and invaluable assets to his department.”
Acting Commissioner of Police, Mr. Everton Jeffers expressed pride in Constable Nelson’s commitment, noting that his actions reinforces the trust and confidence the public places in the Police.
The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda is committed to maintaining law and order and providing the best quality service to its citizenry and visitors.
Atleast there’s one good cop within the force i guess
They all went through the same training at the same academy,so how come they don’t all perform their duties in the same manner?
Awesome work done by Mr. Nelson. Cause i’d cry even if i was robbed of my Iphone 14 pro max
Can’t please everybody, especially out own brothers and sisters. Continue the good work. Our communities need you more than they realize, more than we are willing to admit. Continue to keep the criminals and their supporters in the snake pit where they truly belong. Kudos to the fine men and women of the Force.
Nice way to try and mitigate the negative light cast on the police force by the recent elderly abuse by those three egotistical officers. While Officer Nelson does indeed deserve accolades, his counterparts also deserve to be stripped of their positions for obviously violating the high standards of the police department. That would send messages that respect is earned, citizens have rights, and that wearing the uniform does not mean that you are above the law. A police officer’s duty is to protect and serve the citizens of this nation..not abuse and demean us.
Agreed. When you perform good, we salute you. When you start terrorizing the public, teck off the uniform and go guard a supermarket.
Aweeee when people do good applaud them for that in the same mane we bash them when they are perceived to be wrong in their actions
Commendation to you constable Nelson
