To that end, there will be a further stepping up of our already heightened presence in communities across the island.
In light of three confirmed firearms incidents in a matter of days, I feel the need as Commissioner of Police to reassure the community that your Bermuda Police Service remains steadfast in its efforts to bring those responsible to justice and to prevent these situations from threatening the safety and wellbeing of residents. To that end, there will be a further stepping up of our already heightened presence in communities across the island. This will likely result in some disruptions due to increased stop and search activity, traffic calming and other initiatives, the specifics of which it would not be prudent to disclose. While the onus is on the BPS to make Bermuda safer, you, the public also have a responsibility in this. When these incidents occur, there are often witnesses or individuals with knowledge of what has happened.
