Safety Training Now Mandatory For All Police Officers

Police officers of all ranks today converged on the Police Gym in Prospect for Officer Safety Training (OST). Until recently only officers at the rank of Chief Inspector and below were required to receive officer safety training.

That has now changed and all officers including the Commissioner of Police must be officer safety trained.

This acknowledges the fact that all officers can be called upon at a moment’s notice and they must be prepared.  The all-inclusive officer safety training has been well received by the Bermuda Police Service.


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.
