A convoy of assorted police vehicles turned heads across the Island yesterday as the dazzling cavalcade wound its way from west to east.

The parade of 31 vehicles was part of the Bermuda Police Service’s celebration of 135 years of policing on the island.

And it included a couple of eye-catching machines that had been created through a combined effort of students, police mechanics and Noble Auto.

The convoy started in Sandys, making its way to St George’s and then back into the City, passing over 30 schools on its way, and ended at City Hall.

Commissioner Michael DeSilva said: “It was great to watch the police convoy drive past Hamilton Police Station today as our officers showcased some of our vehicles.

“The bright faces on the children from Onion Patch Academy lined up at St Paul’s AME Church made my day.

“I hope the convoy drummed up some interest for our Gymkhana being held this Saturday at the Police Field in Prospect.”

Mr DeSilva was joined by Colonel David Burch and Terry Lister as well as former Commissioner George Jackson and Superintendent Larry Smith to watch the convoy pass.

He said: “It is equally our honour to work with our community partners, especially those that find positive pursuits for our youth.

“This is something that the Bermuda Police Service remains committed to and I would like to thank the CedarBridge Academy administration as well as the staff at Noble Auto for partnering with the Bermuda Police Service.

“We believe that the ultimate beneficiaries of such collaboration will be Bermuda’s youth.”
