Police Service Donates Christmas Hampers to Local Charities

During this Christmas Season the Bermuda Police Service – Community Action Teams developed an initiative entitle “Be a Part of a Miracle” that’s aim is to assist families during the Christmas season that are experiencing challenging circumstances. This initiative was done in partnership with the Bermuda Police Service’s 2014 selected charities The Women’s Resource Centre and Big Brothers and Big Sisters Bermuda.

Members of the Service were encouraged to assist in giving non-perishable goods, including grocery vouchers that would be donated to our two charities who would then distribute these items to families in need.

We were overwhelmed with the amount of goods that members of the service donated. Donations were also received from our annual children’s Christmas party where children of members of the service donated nonperishable items.

Due to the wonderful giving of the members of the BPS we were able to collect a signification amount of toys, toiletries, perishable and nonperishable items.

On behalf of the Police Officers, Support Staff, Reserves and Cadets, we are honored to present these items to The Women’s Resource Centre and Big Brothers and Big Sisters Bermuda.


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.
