MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR
Welcome to the official website of the Bermuda Ex-Police Officer's Association, now known as "Bermie Ex-Po". Our intention is to provide former and retired members of the Bermuda Police Service with a means of keeping in touch with each other, to record our collective history, and to encourage you to sit down and write about your own personal experiences so they can be recorded for posterity
Our Committee (CLICK HERE for details) is determined to ensure that "Bermie Ex-Po" is inclusive for all those who have served in the BPS, and through our website we try to bring us all closer together, whether you are still living here in Bermuda or you are many thousands of miles away.
I feel sure that as you leaf through its pages, our website will hold many fond memories for you, and will hopefully encourage you to let us hear from you. Please feel free to let us have your comments and suggestions via our website email address at

Born and raised in St. George’s Dudley spent many years in Eastern Division, on the beat, then in CID and as OIC Eastern CID, but also served in Murder Squad and in Central uniform. Always a popular and well liked officer, Dudley, now 93, has always been active but had been in failing health in recent months. Sadly, Dudley just passed away on 24th December 2022.

Who, Where and When - This column features photographs submitted to us by former colleagues in which we challenge you to tell us who is in the photograph, when was it taken, and where was it taken? We usually give you a couple of weeks to figure out the answers and we then publish the correct results - if known - based on our collective memories. Please either email your answers to us or type in your comments in the "Comments" section below the enlarged photo. Editors note - We are still having problems with our Comments at the bottom of each page, so if you would like to answer the above queries please forward your answers to
Our latest photo has been in our files for several years but lay forgotten - until now! No prizes for guessing that it's a Divisional photo taken in front of St. Peter's Church in St. George's. It is also probably the laregest group photo we have ever published, with some 78, and it will be a real challenge to ID everyone in it. CLICK HERE to view it and check out the enlarged sections to see if you can assist in doing so. We would also like to know the date it was taken.
CLICK HERE to view our photo of members of one of the Police departments recently submitted to us by the tallest member of the group. We wanted to identify identify everyone - on a need to know basis - including the tall gentleman, and also confirm where and approximately when the photo was taken.
Latest News and Press Releases - You will see the headings for both of these columns here on our home page, Latest News usually contains local news, often related to the BPS, that we believe will be of interest. Press Releases have usually been mainly about Police-related matters but as of now I will try to keep you up-to-date on the cornonavirus crisis locally by referring you to articles in our local media wherever possible.
On behalf of the Bermie Ex-Po Committee we wish all the very best to you and your families, and we trust that our website will provide you with an opportunity to think of good times as you stroll down memory lane.
