Commissioner of Police Michael DeSilva - We are encouraged by the huge dividends being seen as a result of the current enforcement work and community engagement being conducted by the Bermuda Police Service. More offenders are being brought to justice; more information is forthcoming from the public; the community’s confidence in its police service is strengthening and more synergy is developing across Government, public and private sectors engaged in tackling the violence. The increased work of the Bermuda Police Service is, by its very nature, resource intensive and I have indicated since December that we cannot maintain this level of response without a price.
