A dozen Police officers from the Caribbean will arrive this week to boost Bermuda's thin blue line.

It follows an influx of nine new recruits in January and 14 in November.

Making the announcement Public Safety and Housing Minister David Burch told the Senate: "This Government is not only committed to increasing the strength of the Bermuda Police Service but also working with the leadership to find creative new ways to reduce overall crime."

Senator Burch also revealed the investigation had been completed into the panic evacuations which followed false reports of a Tsunami in December.

The probe is being reviewed by the Emergency Measures Organisation and a full report will be issued later this week.
