The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda has announced operational adjustments affecting public access to criminal record services. From February 16 to February 20, 2026, the Criminal Records Office at Coolidge Police Station will undergo a temporary closure to facilitate administrative enhancements aimed at improving service delivery systems.
During this five-day period, individuals requiring criminal background certifications for employment, international travel, or official documentation purposes are advised to utilize alternative services available at the St. John’s Police Station. This strategically located facility will maintain full operational capacity to handle all urgent requests without interruption.
Law enforcement authorities issued formal apologies for any potential inconveniences resulting from these necessary administrative improvements. The police force simultaneously expressed gratitude for public understanding and cooperation during this transitional phase aimed at enhancing long-term service quality.
The temporary suspension of services at the Coolidge facility represents part of broader initiatives to streamline administrative processes and optimize resource allocation within the nation’s law enforcement infrastructure. These improvements are expected to ultimately benefit citizens through more efficient processing times and enhanced service reliability once operations resume on February 23, 2026.
