The Bermuda Police Service would like to thank everyone who volunteered their time & effort to make Police Week 2010 possible, as well as all those who attended Police Week events to show support for this year’s theme ‘Bridge to the Future.’
It is evident from the enthusiasm shown by the organizers and participants of the Police Gymkhana which took place this year after an extended absence, to the respect shown by members of the public that attended the Ex/Former Police Officers Memorial recognizing the sacrifices that Police officers and their families have made, that the Bermuda Police Service is very much a part of the community we serve.
