Officers Promote Positive Interaction With Students

This afternoon, uniform police officers including officers from the Community Action Teams are visiting the Island’s two public high schools as well as the Washington Street bus terminal in the City of Hamilton to promote positive interactions between officers and students.

This example of proactive community policing is intended to create positive relationships with the students as they return to school this week that will last throughout the school year and as a result, reduce the likelihood of any incidents occurring at either high school or the main bus terminal.

Officers also plan to continue monitoring the Washington Street bus terminal area on a regular basis as students congregating at that location is a perennial issue.


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.
