Upon notification of his intended departure from the Bermuda Police Service, Commissioner Stephen Corbishley remarked: “I am delighted for Mr. Caines in light of his new role.
“He has given 18 years of public service with the BPS and possesses exceptional understanding to the needs of communities across Bermuda and I am confident he will do the same for the City of Hamilton. He is a strong leader with integrity and independent thought and the BPS is sorry to see him depart but I look forward to working with him as a strategic partner in his new role.”
Mr. Caines said of his new role, “I am humbled and honored to serve the people of Bermuda in this demanding and exciting role. It is an opportunity for me to use my leadership and strategic management skills to effectively move the City forward.

Ok so good chess move Gosling as now it would be unconstitutional and a conflict to have Government take over when there are now ties to the Government! Well played! PLP has the next move!
Check mate.
Great choice.
Great choice!
Interesting appointment.
All the best, Dwayne.
So interesting that it prevents you from having a rant about ‘oligarchies’ and ‘systematic whatevers’ etc ?
Next year he gets promoted to dock master.
Sounds like you’re hurting deeply and need more love in your life.
systematic whatevers? Gosh I wish I can meet you in person.
“systematic whatevers? ”
AKA, incessant, unsubstantiated whining.
What for ? I already have enough boring whiners in my life with huge chips on their shoulders.
Finally a positive outcome in the Land of No.
The selection of Dwayne Caines Esq for this significant responsibility at this critical time in Bermuda’s evolution gives us hope.
His professionalism, integrity and consistent commitment to the Community will ensure that the City of Hamilton successfully navigates our current headwinds.
Thank you Recruitment Panel for thinking long and hard and not just picking a “name”, as so frequently happens with hiring locally.
LOL @ Guest Worker…..are you a guest of Alaska Hall?
It doesnt take a genius to run City of Hamilton.
Could be a short lived job.
Wrong person for the job!
Congrats Dwayne!
Why didn’t you apply?
He is very respected and word is he will not be swayed by party,but what is right for the island..
To not be swayed as you suggest, Mr. Caines might want to relinquish his membership to a particular group for that to be believable. Great move Wayne.
LOL@MAdge
