COMMUNITY POLICING - WE ARE YOUR PARTNERS

Community policing is a partnership between the police and the community, working together to identify and solve issues within the community. Moreover, it involves the contribution of stakeholders to ensure the safety and security of all; recognizing it is a collaborative effort to maintain law and order. The range of potential partners is large, and these partnerships can accomplish the two interrelated goals of developing solutions to solving problems and building public trust. 

In recognition of this, the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda has instituted several measures to ensure a safe and tranquil society. Therefore, it is imperative that the public play its role in prioritizing and addressing public safety problems. The Police Administration has placed much of its focus on Community-Based Policing, as this has distinctively proven to be a deterrent to crime and other criminal activities in our society.

The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda continues to uphold its mandate by ensuring that:

  • All community members become active allies with us in the effort to enhance the safety and quality of neighborhoods, the expanded outlook on crime control and prevention, and the emphasis on making community members active participants in problem-solving.
  • Community members will have an opportunity to voice their concerns, and advice, and take action to address these concerns.
  • We the Police believe that creating a constructive partnership will require the energy, creativity, understanding, and patience of all involved.
  • We recognize the police cannot effectively deal with certain issues alone and must partner with others who share a mutual responsibility for resolving problems.
  • Community Policing stresses prevention, early identification, and timely intervention to deal with issues before they become too complex or extensive to be managed.
  • We aim to bring together both government and private resources to achieve these results. We will spend considerable time and effort developing and maintaining personal relationships with residents, businesses, schools, and community organizations in each district.

We take pride in serving every citizen of this country and assure you that your safety is paramount to us, as we work together to provide the safest environment for all to live comfortably.
