Conspiring to kill cops

just what is the island coming to?  Tow men charged with planning to kill three police officers!  what a year!

policeman arrested in connection heroin trafficking

Narcotics arrests in the UK & Canada - to include a serving and former Bermuda police officer!  Ask yourself a question ... why were they not permitted to travel to Bermuda but arrested whilst exporting?  CLICK HERE for comment.
George Jackson ... again! we caught up with Deputy Commissioner of Bermuda police, George in London ... the meeting notes are just the start of the coverage that will follow!
Abuse read this abuse and weep - just how arrogant can a police constabulary be?  Or is it that they consider themselves sot be 'judges'; their word is the law! Judge Dread (15) (DVD)
Mr Provan flees the island it is alleged Mr Provan committed an assault and was permitted to leave the island.   www.bermudaplice.com offered their assistance (being UK based0 but Bermuda would prefer to cut their nose off to spite thei face?

Recruitment This site has experienced a substantial rise in hits over the past weeks September saw a record number of visitors, topped by October when, for the first time, the site broke the 8000 visits per month.  Bermuda is clearly on a recruitment drive again!  Thinking of joining the Bermuda police farce, then don't forget to read Morale , Exodus , Recruitment & Discipline
More evidence of Police incompetence... time to call in outside help to save what is left of the ailing Bermuda Police Farce? The Royal Gazette article appears at 'Communication Breakdown'.

More cops 'do a runner'?  Conditions were apparently so bad at St Georges barracks that within 4 weeks officers had returned to UK.

Ignorance IS an excuse for  the law in Bermuda! a young sailor escapes conviction because he 'did not intend to break any laws'.  However, he is to face disciplinary action.  So who will be disciplined for not adequately equipping this young man with the knowledge he required to enter Bermuda? Are sailors expected to be conversant with the laws in every country they visit?  Who else will receive Magistrate King's benevolent approach to legislation? Leniency is to be commended but effectively condoning???

Let's see how many tourists are released (as an example) for bringing in small quantities of narcotics for personal use ... 'but I did not know your honour' ... ABSOLUTE DISCHARGE!

Cannabis demand increasing? you be the judge as the island secures a record haul.
Heroin use on the increase   Needles are again the preferred method of abuse - echoes of the 80's & 90's and the AIDS scare. Increased heroin use because ... increased availability?
The one that got away - alleged deserter, apparently in the process of fleeing the island is acquitted.  Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner came out with guns blazing yesterday as he acquitted a policeman of “desertion” and called for a commission to investigate Police Service’s treatment of crime suspects
The case of the vanishing cops time to call in investigators to ascertain just why police are leaving (deserting!)

Give us guns - say the cops.  Well, at least Carl does. What is the island coming too?  Has it really got to this?

Carl surely the approach should be to prevent guns coming into Bermuda and removing those that are currently present instead of bring more in (for the police), or have you given up on prevention already?

Gun fight at the OK Court Street?  As if the street's reputation was not bad enough already ...

Andrew Jackson arrested on suspicion of impaired driving!  Makes a change from possession of narcotics. Deputy Commissioner George Jackson's son, Andrew Jackson, is in the news again.  Once more, it is nothing for his dad to be proud of!  At least we hope not.
Another murder and more drugs:  As the 'facts' of a murder trail slowly unfold, so the public is given an insight into the drug-riddled island's underbelly.  Just how many secrets can this small island hold?  Accusations levelled at four policee officers of assisting in the importation of narcotics may lead to further investigations but do not hold your breath. click here More farcical stuff and keystone cop antics.  Reading that an officer had lost his pocket book which held relevant information was just about as convincing as the cross-examination he appeared to receive.  What further revelations are to follow.  Do read the Royal Gazette to keep abreast of this comedy of errors.
March 2003
all poised for the trial of three defendants accused of killing an alleged American drug mule Stanley Lee (aka Sean Russells)?  Let's see if the Bermuda police service and Attorney General's office can secure a conviction or if professional prosecutions are another victim of the Bermuda Triangle ... disappeared without trace.

Why the interest in the case? It was apparently as a result of the investigation into the murder that Clifford Roberts (police officer) and Onika Wainwright (police officer) were exposed. Word is that lot's of names, many in high places have been called in connection with the entire affair. 

The trial was set to start on Tuesday and already there has apparently been a lot of activity.  We are not holding our breath in anticipation of a conviction, rather taking bets on how long before the case descends into farce and collapses. Please prove us wrong Bermuda.  For more about the case, click here

Bermudapolicerecord is not a official Bermuda Police web site but independently maintained.  However, the diary entries are an accurate representation of former Detective Constable 217's
daily diary of activities on the island's of Bermuda from 1988 to 1991.  The officer probably had the highest arrest and conviction record on the island.  However, he was eventually the subject of unsubstantiated petty allegations in respect of which the island's police service, in breach of its own disciplinary regulations, did not hold a disciplinary hearing.  Instead, the then Commissioner of Police Clive Donald, declined to renew the officer's contract.  For further information, please follow the links: Complaint / Subverted & Betrayed / Back-Stabbing
