Prime Minister Gaston Browne has praised law enforcement and defence personnel for ensuring a safe and orderly J’Ouvert.

In a social media post, Browne commended Police Commissioner Everton Jeffers and ABDF Brigadier Benjamin for their leadership during the festivities.

“There was visible presence of police and defence force officers in protection of revellers during J’Ouvert and generally for the whole carnival season,” he wrote.

Their efforts, he added, helped maintain order and security during one of the most energetic events on the national calendar.
