Antigua and Barbuda

Many people consider Antigua to be a peaceful city with comparatively low crime rates. Having said that, there has recently been an increase in criminal activity, which is why there is a rise in the need for security services in Antigua. The U.S. State Department issued a Level 2 travel advisory in January 2024 in response to this increase. A sharp increase in violent incidents, including several homicides in a brief period, prompted the warning to be issued. Gang members’ acts of violence to blame for many of these events. The same is the case in Barbuda, which is why we offer dependable security services in Antigua and Barbuda.

Security Concerns for Travelers

The advisory warned that “Violent crime, such as burglaries, armed robberies, and sexual assaults, occur in both tourist and non-tourist areas.” At Black Mountain Solutions (BMS), we recognize the most significant risks to travelers as becoming victims of crime while visiting areas on the island that are not good or that are known for high crime rates—essentially being in the wrong place at the wrong time. To prevent these incidents, we recommend that travelers use chauffeured services by vetted, trusted drivers who understand the island’s risks, safe practices, and no-go zones.

Our local team has extensive experience working with VIP travelers and has frequently collaborated on the ground with U.S. Security Agents (VIP Protection) when high-net-worth clients visit the island.

Another significant threat identified by BMS is the potential for burglaries or home invasions at private residences, which can result in property damage, loss, emotional trauma, and physical harm. We emphasize the importance of travelers ensuring adequate property access control, supplemented by surveillance or perimeter patrolling, such as security guards and monitoring systems.
