Bermuda police will be highly visible on land and sea this week as the Island celebrates Cup Match.Acting Assistant Commissioner Martin Weekes said yesterday that along with high visibility patrols across the Island, a full complement of officers from the Marine Unit, supplemented by the Bermuda Reserve Police and Bermuda Regiment, will be in full force on the Island’s waters.Mr Weekes said that the BPS is intent on deterring members of the public who would disrupt the holiday with violence and criminal behaviour, with patrol units and members of the reserve Police paying attention to incidents of public disorder, weapons possession and public drug misuse.“Those persons who are not deterred by the presence of the police and commit these offences can expect to be promptly arrested and delivered to the courts,” Mr Weekes said.In addition to Island-wide patrols, he said police will be present and on patrol at the St George’s Cricket Club during the holiday, and they will not be alone.“The club has contracted the services of a security company and cameras and extra CCTV coverage will be in use in and around the grounds,” Mr Weekes said.He warned the public not to drive if they have been drinking, even if they believe they are below the legal limit, and advised all drivers to exercise care and caution, considering the high volume of collisions that seem to traditionally occur on holiday weekends.“Our final message this year is to encourage everyone to exercise patience, tolerance, caution and good old fashioned common sense to help the BPS do our job,” Mr Weekes said.“We appeal to the public, and in particular to those persons in the community who are involved in violent crime or have friends involved in these crimes, to think about the Cup Match holiday and what it means to their community and to not spoil these events for the whole community, as has happened on other occasions.”Road Safety Officer David Sinclair Minors joined the call for the public to take care on the roads by staying sober if driving and following the rules of the road.“We must deal with our lack of courtesy on our roads and ensure that we fasten our seatbelts, child seats and helmets securely and correctly,” he said.“We must do these things not just because it may save a life, but because it will save lives.”Useful website: www.bps.bm.
