The Bermuda Police Service would like to inform the public that 24 hour monitoring of CCTV has been out sourced to a local company with effect from Friday 1st May, 2009, on a 3 month trial basis with a view to providing a long term solution.

This arrangement will allow for the dedicated monitoring of CCTV by trained staff so that the CCTV system can be used to its full capacity. This will allow the BPS to utilize CCTV more effectively to prevent, detect and solve crime; we will enhance our capability to keep the island safe.

The Bermuda Police Service remains committed to reducing overall crime and the fear of crime and this partnership allows us to provide solutions to criminality and anti-social behavior. At the end of the trial period, a review will take place to identify how best the 24 hour monitoring of CCTV can continue.
