Prime Minister Gaston Browne sends special commendation to the nation’s law enforcement and security personnel for their role in ensuring a safe and orderly J’Ouvert.
Commissioner of Police, Everton Jeffers, and Brigadier Benjamin of the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force (ABDF) were applauded for their leadership and coordination throughout the event.
“There was visible presence of police and defence force officers in protection of revelers during Jouvert and generally for the whole carnival season.” Browne wrote in a Facebook post.
Their efforts not only safeguarded revellers but also maintained a sense of order and calm during one of the most vibrant and high-energy periods on the nation’s calendar.
We need to see this all the time. Not just to protect the sinners. We need it all the time
Atleast we know it’s a safe carnival. Atleast a bit. No stabbing and dem tings
Carnival is usually a time of chaos if not cautioned. It’s good to hear about the level of safety that was implemented and achieved during this energised time.
Good job. Let’s keep the rest of it that way
Out in their large numbers. Kudos to them. They worked really hard for their money. Good work powpow
Hard and long hours
