As we are now into the summer months, activities in and around the waters in Bermuda will increase. The Bermuda Police Service is committed to its mission of ‘making Bermuda safer’ and ensuring public safety. In the wake of several marine incidents over the last several weeks it is timely for us to remind the public who take to the waters that they are required to act responsibly and obey all laws that govern safety when taking to the waters.
