Specialist Investigator For Possible Regiment Sexual Abuse Complaints

The Commissioner of Police has consulted with His Excellency the Governor regarding recent public speculation about past sexual assaults that may have taken place within the ranks of the Bermuda Regiment. The Commissioner has agreed that for a variety of reasons, potential victims might have decided not to assist with previous investigations but might be willing to come forward now.

Accordingly, he has appointed Detective Inspector (DI) Mark Clarke to investigate any criminal complaints that might arise. DI Clarke is an experienced specialist investigator in charge of the BPS Vulnerable Persons Unit. Any victim can be assured that they will be treated with dignity and that their investigation will be conducted in strict confidence. DI Clarke can be contacted at (441) 247-1086 or mclarke@bps.bm.

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.
