A groundbreaking initiative to enhance community policing and crime prevention has been unveiled in St John’s Rural West. Spearheaded by Senator Michael Joseph in collaboration with the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda, a series of town hall meetings has been announced to foster stronger ties between residents and law enforcement. The first session is set to take place on 27 November at the UWI Five Islands Campus, followed by subsequent gatherings on 3 December at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Golden Grove Extension and 10 December at the Grays Green Multi-Purpose Centre. Senior officers from the St John’s and Grays Farm police stations, alongside representatives from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and the Public Complaint Department, will be in attendance. These meetings are designed to provide a platform for residents to voice their concerns and offer actionable suggestions to bolster community safety. Organisers emphasize that this initiative is a critical step toward building trust and cooperation between the public and law enforcement agencies.
