2012 First Quarter Crime Statistics
Thu, 2012-04-26
Commissioner of Police Michael DeSilva - Overview: Over the long term, total crime continues on a downward trend and remains virtually unchanged from the previous quarter. At 1,163 total crimes, the quarterly average is consistent with the previous 12 month period. Moderate increases in some categories have been equalised by moderate decreases in others. This is within the normal ebb and flow of individual crime classifications that we would expect to see from quarter to quarter. For a more accurate crime picture, statistics are normally compared over periods of 12 months and longer.

Circulation of Misleading Text Message
Mon, 2012-04-23
The Bermuda Police Service is aware of a text message widely circulated over the weekend suggesting that a man had been shot somewhere in the western parishes. We would like to assure the public that no such report was made to the police, no-one was treated at the hospital for gunshot injuries and no-one has come forward to verify the text message.
The Bermuda Police Service wishes to caution against the pitfalls of disseminating unsubstantiated information via mobile devices and social media. This is not the first example of unconfirmed reports and inaccurate information that have sparked unnecessary anxiety throughout the community.
