Policing Plan for 2010
Thu, 2010-01-21
Foreword by Michael A. DeSilva, FCMI Commissioner of Police - The need for police to focus their efforts on front-line operations has never been greater than in recent times. Our community continues to grapple with an escalation in the use of guns and associated gang violence. The impact of these crimes is being felt across all segments of society. The friendly and tranquil Bermuda that we are internationally known for is being threatened by recurring and alarming news of violence. In the autumn of 2009, the Bermuda Police Service (BPS) shifted a number of staff to ensure that we have as many officers as possible working directly on community policing and investigating crime.
