The recruits consist of six men and four women, nine Bermudians and one spouse of a Bermudian originally from Jamaica. They range in age from 19 – 42 years old. During the 25 week training course the recruits will be trained in law & procedure as well as the practical aspects of policing. They will also receive officer safety training, physical training and learn drill.

In addition, during the course there will be two operational breaks of three weeks each where the recruits will be deployed on to the streets for practical application of what they have learned before returning to the classroom to discuss their experiences.

The aim of this course is to produce ‘omni-competent officers’ with training in all the necessary aspects of policing who are also trained police drivers.

All incidents are under investigation. Police are appealing to members of the public who have witnessed these incidents or may have information pertaining to them to contact their respective Police Station, Police Headquarters at 295-0011 or the confidential Crimestoppers Hotline on 1 (800) 623-8477.
