The Bermuda Police Service would like to thank the public for their co-operation over the Bermuda Day holiday, which led to a mostly quiet Bermuda Day. We are continuing to urge the motoring public to use care, caution & courtesy on the island’s roads as there was a rise in the number of road traffic collisions over the holiday period.

Police have also noticed a significant decrease in the incidents of breaking and entering around the island, and we would continue to encourage residents to keep their homes secure by locking all doors and windows and to be vigilant for suspicious persons/activity in their area. In addition, we have received several reports of loud music and would like to remind the public to be considerate of others when playing music inside or outside, especially at night.
