    I want to commend the police for their proactive approach in conducting mobile patrols across the island. It’s encouraging to see law enforcement actively engaging with the community and taking steps to enhance public safety. The arrests made during this operation reflect their commitment to tackling issues like fraud and robbery, which can significantly impact residents’ sense of security. Additionally, intercepting the vehicle that contained a large quantity of cannabis shows their vigilance in addressing drug-related offenses. These actions contribute to a safer environment for everyone, and it’s reassuring to know that the police are working diligently to keep our communities secure..

    Antigua and Barbusa policemen are doing well in cleaning up the city and other environments. They mess up every now and then but there are times they actually make me proud. This is one of the times.
