Anguilla Public Service: Code of Ethics

The Anguilla Public Service has identified the standards outlined in this document as those expected to be met by public servants in the conduct of their duties. It is clear that the public service is made up of public servants who are generally concerned to do the right thing, the right way. Achieving this is not always easy, particularly if members of the general public and public servants are unaware of the standards public servants are expected to attain and maintain.

This Code of Ethics for the Anguilla Public Service will assist public servants in their daily efforts to achieve and maintain certain standards in public life. It serves to remind all public servants and the public, of the aspirations of the public service as regards the values that it is hoped will pervade the entire service........

Crime

Recently, Anguilla has noticed a rise in juvenile delinquency and crime. This problem is especially serious since Anguilla is a tourism dependent economy. To curtail the crime rate, the government has taken a few steps. They have established a Probation Department to deal with first time offenders and offer rehabilitation to ensure that they do not become repeat offenders. In the 2007 budget address, they also promised an increase in spending in the police service, prison service and courts to help in the investigation of crimes and prosecution of criminals. The government has promised zero tolerance for criminal activities.
