Inquiry Into Inappropriate Communication

Contrary to comments reported in some news outlets that the Bermuda Police Service is not investigating a report of inappropriate communication of a teacher with a student at one of the island's private schools; we wish to reassure the public that the Bermuda Police Service takes this matter very seriously and a full investigation will be conducted to determine what offences if any have been committed. The investigation is being headed up by officers from Vulnerable Persons Unit (VPU) of the Bermuda Police Service. We are appealing for anyone with any information on this matter to contact the Vulnerable Persons Unit on 295-0011.
