Response to Royal Gazette Article on Alleged Front Street Prostitutes

Acting Commissioner of Police Mike Jackman - In relation to the allegations being leveled in today’s Royal Gazette (Wednesday, November 30th edition), the Bermuda Police Service has not received any reports from members of the public about being approached by females offering sexual favours. Our police officers regularly and proactively patrol in the areas where there is night time economy, in particular throughout the Front Street area.

We encourage Senator Dunkley to report what he knows to us and anyone with any information regarding prostitution is encouraged to report it to police on 295-0011 or via the independent, confidential Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-8477.

Prostitution is an offence punishable under the law and if reported to or encountered by police, will be dealt with accordingly.


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.
