Inspector Lester Bagot completed a Bachelor of Science in Management at UWI, graduating with First Class Honours.

Two officers earned Summa Cum Laude distinctions: Constable Kenvin Gore, who completed a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice at Walden University, and Corporal Amethyst Adams-George, who earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology from Monroe University.

Also graduating from Monroe University was Constable Anestine Massicot, who earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice, Magna Cum Laude.

The UWI graduates also included Constable Theona Warrington, who earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology with Second Class Honours, Upper Division, and Constable Keriann Thomas, who completed a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance.

Constable Rashidi Merrifield earned a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Banking and Finance, while Constable Kelsy Mussington completed a Bachelor of Science in Management with a concentration in Psychology, earning Upper Second Class Honours.

In its congratulatory message, the Force said the accomplishments reflected both personal achievement and a commitment to continuous learning and professional development.

It expressed confidence that the knowledge and skills gained would strengthen the delivery of professional, effective and community-focused policing.

The graduates were also encouraged to use their achievements to inspire colleagues to pursue further education while continuing their service to the people of Antigua and Barbuda.
