Overseas Recruitment Regarding 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup

In light of the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup, which features the Bermuda National Cricket Team, Commissioner of Police George Jackson along with other Caribbean Commissioners of Police have agreed that nothing would be done to negatively impact on the ability to police the event. As such, the recruitment of some officers to Bermuda from the Caribbean where countries face acute shortages, particularly Barbados, has been put on hold; however, this has not affected the Bermuda Police Service's ongoing recruitment initiatives.


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.
