Commissioner of Police Darrin Simons - "The Bermuda Police Service can confirm that with immediate effect, PC Sean Simons was dismissed. This followed his guilty plea for intruding on the privacy of a female and an internal review process.

While the dismissal of a colleague is always difficult, members of the Bermuda Police Service must at all times act in accordance with our Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional behaviour.

Where that standard is not met, the matter is reviewed and appropriate action is taken.

As Commissioner of Police, I can say without reservation, that overwhelmingly, the women and men who make up your Police Service, continually strive to serve with the highest standards of integrity in their efforts to make our community safer for all."
