Read MorePriorities When Officially Informing Next of Kin
Thu, 2011-11-10
Assistant Commissioner of Police David Mirfield - The Bermuda Police Service takes the role of informing next of kin that their loved one has died very seriously. Confirming death and positively identifying the victim must take place before efforts are made to contact an immediate family member at the earliest possible opportunity. If the next of kin is located overseas, notification may take longer. Our intention in this process is to provide accurate information to the victim’s next of kin in a sensitive and timely manner. Only when the police are satisfied that the next of kin have been informed, and the identity of the person confirmed, will the police make the name public.
