Antigua and Barbuda's Commissioner of Police is calling on residents to come forward and report criminal activity, cautioning that public silence remains one of the most significant barriers to effective law enforcement.
According to Antigua Observer, Commissioner Everton Jeffers made the appeal during a recent interview, emphasizing that combating crime is a shared community responsibility — not one that falls solely on the shoulders of law enforcement.
Commissioner Jeffers urged members of the public to use any trusted channel available to them when reporting suspicious or criminal activity, signalling a broad and flexible approach to encouraging civic engagement in public safety efforts.
The Commissioner's comments reflect an ongoing challenge faced by law enforcement agencies across the Caribbean, where community cooperation is widely regarded as essential to reducing crime rates and securing successful prosecutions.
