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:
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.
