Antigua St John's - Director of the Office of National Drug and Money Laundering Control Policy (ONDCP) Lieutenant Colonel Edward Croft has been chosen to undergo a period of training with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI).

Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer made the announcement during an appreciation ceremony for the ONDCP. He said his government recognizes that training is very important to how the officers are fulfilling their duties, and so his administration has been continuously seeking assistance from international partners.

Croft will attend the FBI’s National Executive Institute (NEI), which Spencer described as "the premier executive training venue in the FBI, providing strategic leadership development, current affairs, and liaison (training) at the highest levels of the FBI and the largest US and international law enforcement agencies."

“During the three-cycle programme, Lieutenant Colonel Edward Croft will undergo instructions in national and international political, economic, and social trends affecting policing function; ethics and integrity issues; media relations issues, labor relations; the future structure of law enforcement organisations and financing law enforcement organisations,” he said.

Lieutenant Colonel Edward Croft will be the first candidate from the Caribbean to attend the NEI training session. According to Prime Minister Spencer, this is a tremendous opportunity for the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, the ONDCP, and the Eastern Caribbean.
