During the week of October 26th to November 1st, the Bermuda Police Service will celebrate ‘Police Week’ - a week long series of events commemorating the Bermuda Police Service’s 129 years of service to Bermuda and its continuing commitment to the local community.
Several of these events are community oriented, and we would like to cordially invite all members of the public as well as the island’s school students to take part in the following activities:
Displays by some of our specialist units will take place on Police field in Prospect (just below Police Headquarters).
The Bermuda Police Service is inviting all primary and middle school students to write an essay (maximum of 100 words) outlining why they would like to be Commissioner of Police for a Day. The eight best essays will be chosen by a committee and the winners will have the opportunity to ‘shadow’ the eight highest ranking members of the Police Service as they go about their daily duties.
The Beating of the Retreat will take place on Front Street in the City of Hamilton. The Commissioner of Police and various dignitaries will be on hand for the traditional display by the Bermuda Regiment Band & Corps of Drums.
All three Police stations (Hamilton, Somerset & Southside) will be open to the public. All essays for the ‘Commissioner for a Day’ contest should be sent to the Police Media Relations office by e-mail at pmr@bps.bm by Monday, October 20th. |
