The Bermuda Police Service would like to highlight the career of Police Constable Sandy Rowe following her untimely

Constable Rowe was a vibrant young officer in her 41st year and had 10 years of policing experience here in Bermuda as well as in her native island Jamaica. Constable Rowe arrived in Bermuda in 2007 and after completing her Localisation Course, she began operational policing in the central parishes where she quickly developed a rapport with residents in the area. This led to her being posted to the Community Action Team where she continued her work in the central parishes and was involved in the formation of the Friswells Hill community Neighbourhood Watch programme in 2011.
