The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda has officially opened a satellite police post at the Antigua Recreation Grounds (ARG) as part of its security arrangements for the Carnival.

The opening of the satellite post comes at an opportune time as the nation prepares to officially launch its Carnival celebrations, scheduled for July 25 to August 4, 2026.

The satellite police post is strategically located in the area of the grounds formerly used as the Sir Vivian Richards Players’ Pavilion . The facility is fully operational and equipped with essential services, providing police officers with a comfortable location from which to coordinate their operations throughout the Carnival season.

Commissioner of Police, Mr. Everton Jeffers welcomed the initiative and described it as a timely and important addition to the Force’s security arrangements for the carnival season.

He noted that the post will not only strengthen the physical presence of the police in and around Carnival City but will also provide officers with an ideal location from which to effectively carry out their duties during the festivities.

The Police Administration expresses sincere gratitude to the Antigua and Barbuda Festivals Commission for its partnership and support in making this initiative possible.

The administration also extends appreciation to the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) for providing the essential utility services necessary for the operation of the facility, and to the management of Townhouse Mega Store for generously donating a desk telephone to the satellite post.

The satellite post will remain operational throughout the entire Carnival season, with an increased police presence during major shows and events taking place at Carnival City.
Members of the public who require police assistance may call 462-0789.

The Police Administration wishes all residents and visitors a safe, peaceful, and enjoyable Carnival 2026 and encourages everyone to give the police their full cooperation and support throughout the festive season.
