Commissioner's End of Year Message
Sun, 2019-12-29
As the year closes I reflect on 12 months of hard work and success achieved by the officers and staff of the Bermuda police service. I am also 
pleased that there are lesser times I am referred to as the ‘new commissioner’ not least as I have made Bermuda my home as much as my work place.
I am so proud of what the BPS have delivered, not least as much is unknown to the public. Indeed that should be the case as I am believer in preventing crime rather than sorting things when they have gone wrong. Prevention means fewer victims, greater public safety as well as increased community confidence and that is our primary business.
Top of that list is protecting life and this year has seen the absence of homicide, particularly involving firearms and a continuing fall in road related deaths, whilst the thoughts and prayers of the BPS remain with those families who have lost loved ones.
