The Bermuda Police Service is looking for new recruits.

Yesterday, Deputy Commissioner Mike Jackman said he hopes to fill several vacancies with locals. He added that the number of vacant spots was expected to increase in the New Year.

He said: “ We believe in the current economic climate that there are a number of Bermudians looking to change occupations and the Bermuda Police Service presents a very viable option.

“Joining the Bermuda Police Service provides an opportunity for community service and giving back to the community and at the same times presents wonderful opportunities to work in a dynamic organisation with exceptional benefits.

“We are looking to attract the best local candidates to join our ranks so that we can adequately serve the community who deserve the very best.”

He said the police are looking for Bermudians who are:

l Between 19 and 49 years of age

l Bermudian or the non-Bermudian spouse of a Bermudian

l Possess a school-leaving certificate with good academic standing

l Committed to serving your community and upholding the law
