Deputy Commissioner of Police Paul Wright - "Naturally I am delighted to have been selected to serve as the new Deputy Commissioner.

It is an important position in terms of guiding the Bermuda Police Service (BPS) forwards, particularly in the areas of professional development for our personnel and improving our service to the community.

The BPS is held in high regard by the public – more so now than at any time in my (almost) thirty years of service.

Much of that success is the result of good strategy, good leadership and most importantly, the truly dedicated and capable staff who work in partnership with our community every day – all to make Bermuda safer.

I am looking forwards to working more closely with Commissioner Michael DeSilva, whom I greatly admire, and I am confident that my operational experience will enable me to make a significant contribution to creating the right environment for future success."
