driving standards.

Two Police officers have already been through court charged with driving without due care and attention.

And two more officers are currently suspended accused of bad driving.

Now another officer is under investigation after his 750cc motorbike was involved in a serious crash, leaving a man with two broken wrists.

The Police bike was badly smashed up in the collision on South Shore Road in Warwick on Saturday lunchtime.

A Police spokeswoman confirmed that the officer would now have to go through a strict investigation procedure following the crash outside Marley Beach Cottages.

She said the Policeman, 29, suffered only a bruised right foot in the crash.

But the other rider, a 25-year-old Canadian accountant who has just moved to Bermuda, suffered a broken left and right wrist and cuts to his leg.

He is now back in work after receiving hospital treatment but had to have his second arm put in plaster on Wednesday.

Police said the officer's bike was heading towards Somerset and collided with the moped just after 12 noon, as the smaller bike turned right out of the Marley Beach complex.

The force spokeswoman added: "There's always an investigation in these circumstances and as such, the inquiry is continuing.'' She said it was unclear if the Police bike was answering an emergency call at the time.

Officers can be hauled into court, severely disciplined or taken off the road if they are found to be negligent during accidents.

Assistant Police Commissioner Alan Bissell promised a force review of driving standards and training procedures after a rash of crashes around Christmas last year.

Police wrecked seven of their vehicles in the month before last Christmas and two more Police vehicles -- a bike and a car -- were taken off the road in accidents during February.

The force immediately faced accusations they were reckless riders and drivers and Shadow Home Affairs Minister Alex Scott called on Police to improve training.

Mr. Bissell told The Royal Gazette : "Training is on-going and only stops when we have a manpower shortage.

"The latest incident is now on my desk and is still under investigation. But we have put two officers in court for driving without due care and attention following other incidents.

"Another two officers are currently suspended for driving offences.'' He said guilty Police officers could be allowed back on patrol as traffic officers if they re-qualified in the Police driving school.

Force driving instructor Sgt. Valance Holder was constantly taking officers onto the roads to improve techniques, he added.

Another officer, Pc Minton Gilbert, is due to leave for the UK to take an advance driving course.

"Training is a priority,'' added Mr. Bissell. "I hate to say we haven't had any major accidents lately but we have had some minor accidents and we need to do everything we can to stop them.''
