Commissioner of Police Michael DeSilva - I am pleased to present the 2013/14 Annual Policing Plan for the Bermuda
Police Service (BPS). This is the second of three plans under our three-year Strategic Plan for 2012 to 2015. The plan is aligned with the financial year 1st April 2013 to 31st March 2014 so that available funding and operational priorities are considered together. It has been prepared in consultation with His Excellency the Governor and the Minister for Public Safety. The final document represents the shared aims across the community for the police to deliver a high quality of service that is focused on people and aimed at safety.
Our operational priorities remain the same as the last three years: we are focused on those crimes that are of most concern to the community and that cause the greatest harm: guns, gangs, drugs and violence.
Our work this year will not only be aimed at “Making Bermuda Safer,” but making Bermuda feel safer as well.
