Minister Praises Uniformed Services For Efforts
“Every one of our five uniformed services worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of our community over the last two weeks,” said Minister of National Security, Michael Weeks.
A Government spokesperson said, “The Minister today expressed his gratitude to Bermuda’s uniformed services for their commitment and hard work during the recent Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year’s holidays.”
Minister Weeks added: “Their dedication to duty, especially during a time when many are away from their families, has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated.”
The Minister highlighted that the holiday period was relatively quiet, with only minor incidents reported. “This reflects not only the vigilance of our frontline services but also the efforts of the community to ensure safe and responsible behaviour.”
“As we return to our normal routines, I hasten to remind the public that keeping our island safe is a shared responsibility. I hope that we carry the spirit of care and cooperation we saw over the holidays into the new year,” the Minister stated.
A Government spokesperson added, “The Minister also extended best wishes for a safe 2025, while emphasising the collective role of all Bermudians in fostering a peaceful and harmonious community.”
“Together, we can build on this positive momentum and ensure that Bermuda continues to be a safe and welcoming place for everyone,” the Minister concluded.
One hundred to one can we bet that law enforcement couldn’t wait to get out there for the New Year celebrations to exercise their power over the people , there are biger things to deal with as you know.
Need I go on ,kind of petty don’t you think, but is is never the less reality .
People who drink “A” may have a medical or social problem as some need to drown their sorrows as year 2024 has not the lease been exciting.
Who do you blame for that .
Dont ask for a deaf ear.
Those who sit all day in front of more equipment than NASSA when they should be out there every day of the week around lunch time and not just during annual hunting season .
New year is where time has come to give Bermuda a performance rating.
2023 Bermuda got a 4/10 now we see a down turn for 2024 things have not been doing so well can’t reverse the blame on the public for every thing .
We see one financial blunder after another at best Bermuda rates a 3/10 for 2024 and that is being generous.
If the people work harder and go with out this year .
Bermuda could buy some more electric busses; tugs ; ferry boats ;and finish fixing the roads.
Mr. Weeks 25% of my pension goes in taxes for which many like me can claim nothing.
Am I the only person who finds it ironic that a PLP Minister is thanking “Every one of our five uniformed services”, including the Bermuda Police Service?
That would be the same Bermuda Police Service condemned by the PLP for trying to prevent mob rule in March 2016 so that our Parliament could sit and debate.
For those who do not know, mob rule prevailed in Bermuda on that day.
it’s a few folks like you Joe blogg that hate the PLP so much you have no life. Instead you complain about everything instead of enjoying your retirement or life.
I do not hate the PLP. I have many friends who are PLP members. What I hate is dishonesty and hypocrisy.
Was that the day an army of Bermuda Police Service pepper sprayed the public for loitering which may have included a few seniors for voicing their opinion ?
Time is very precious, cost money and should not be wasted .
Freedom of speech stops when people insult one another.
Did the B.P.S show up with guns ?
Do they they carry guns to our annual cup match celebration of emancipation ? ” Free at last “.!
Do we or should we fly kites on the CUP MATCH FIELD before and after cup match ? that’s positive thinking .
Discharging a gun at an annual evernt wiil cause instant panic an we all know what that leads to, a fairer Bermuda
can we change our antiquated moto
to >- K.F.B >- A Kinder Fairer Bermuda.
Life always has its kinder options PLAN “B” could the B.P.S. escort the afflicted “A” drivers home
I was referring to 16 March 2016, a day on which a mob of people organised by an anonymous group calling themselves the “Peoples Campaign” surrounded Sessions House and would not allow MPs to enter the building or carry on the peoples’ work.
At least one PLP MP was present and he warned (or threatened) the Bermuda Police Service that people were coming and they had “ammunition”.
Are talking about Decenmber 2nd, with pepper spray incident???. Ive yet to hear who was responsible for giving BPS the green light to pepper spray the PEACEFUL protesters on Reid street. I watched an officer lied under oath saying he feared for his life. Apparently he must be a cat with many lives. How threaten was he when the same people that got pepper sprayed was feeding them and also givning them shelter when it rained. Make it make sense but bless there hearts. One more thing, how about showing appreciation to the other ESSENTIAL service workers that work just or hard or even harder?!?! Just food for thougt.
