Antigua St John's - National Security Minister Dr Errol Cort met with the hierarchy of the Royal Police Force and the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force (ABDF) on Thursday in the first high-level security meeting for 2012.
Dr Cort commended the security forces for their crime fighting efforts in 2011. He said, “I’ve seen the commitment to solve serious crime in the country."
He commended the leadership of the police and defence forces, as well as rank and file members, and encouraged them to continue to give of their best in dealing with serious crime. He asked that the security forces continue their aggressive approach to crime fighting, as it has served the country well.
The current crime prevention plans and strategies for the nation were evaluated, with discussions on the successes, and areas in need of improvement. It was agreed that in 2012, crime fighting will continue to be intelligence-led, with an emphasis on community policing in conjunction with other methods such as patrols and road blocks.
Other issues discussed at the meeting included the rise in crime in secondary schools, and ways to address this problem, along with violence against women and home invasions.
