Montserrat Officer Charged With Assault

Following an investigation which involved Bermuda police officers, a member of the Royal Montserrat Police Servic has been charged with assault and several other offences.

Montserrat Governor Adrian Davis said in a press release. “… A member of the Royal Montserrat Police Service has been charged with the offences of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, wounding, disorderly conduct, and threatening language.” The officer has since been taken before the Magistrate and was later released on bail.

Last month Governor Sir Richard Gozney said, “The Governor of Montserrat asked me if the Bermuda Police could spare two officers for a short attachment to the Montserrat Police Force to help them investigate accusations made against members of their own Force. I understand that the Cayman Police have also been asked to help.

“We are all conscious of the pressures on the Bermuda Police Service and of the need for Bermuda Police Service to remain closely focused on the issues to hand here on the Island. But equally we are conscious of the need to be sympathetic when we can to requests from British Overseas Territories in the Caribbean, particularly the smaller ones.”
