The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda is facing mounting criticism over allegations of systemic bias and unfair treatment within its ranks. A recent letter to the editor, penned by a concerned 17-year-old, highlights the growing discontent among citizens and officers alike. The letter points to a troubling pattern of selective recognition, where individuals in higher positions are celebrated for achievements that others, often of lower rank, have already accomplished without acknowledgment. For instance, the writer’s neighbor, who diligently balanced her online degree studies with her duties in the justice system, received no recognition for her efforts. In contrast, higher-ranking officers are now being publicly praised for similar accomplishments. This disparity raises serious questions about fairness, justice, and equality within the force. The writer argues that such practices undermine the core values of integrity and meritocracy that the police force claims to uphold. They call for a system where recognition is based on genuine contribution and hard work, rather than hierarchy or status. The letter concludes with a plea for reform, emphasizing that both the public and dedicated officers deserve a justice system they can trust. This issue has sparked a broader conversation about accountability and transparency in law enforcement, as citizens demand better treatment for those who serve with humility and dedication.
