Superintendent Sean Field-Lament - Good Morning. The Bermuda Police Service is actively looking to attract the best local candidates to join our ranks. We are aware that in the current economic climate, there are a number of Bermudians looking for a meaningful career, or who are considering changing occupations - and the Bermuda Police Service presents a very viable option.
As a police officer, successful recruits will join a dynamic organization with exceptional benefits - committed to policing with the community and ‘Making Bermuda Safer.’ All new officers will also be expected to adhere to the Bermuda Police Service Core Values of Professionalism, Accountability, Integrity, Dedication, Respect, Courage & Unity.
