I was recently asked by Davie Kerr if we could compile a list of those former colleagues who are still with us who served in the Bermuda Police prior to Davie arriving here in late 1966.

This is very difficult task because the only way this question can be answered is through personal knowledge and it's very easy to miss some of these colleagues as there are a considerable  number of officers from abroad who we know have served here but to the best of my knowledge we have heard nothing of them since the day they left Bermuda.

The following is my best attempt at a creating a  list of those former officers I’m aware of who served during or before 1966 and who are, to the best of my knowledge, still with us.  Those marked with an asterisk are believed to be living abroad.  

I can guarantee  there are some of our former colleagues who have not yet been included on the list. If that includes YOU or anyone you know who is not on the list can you please either contact me directly or through our ExPo website email which is info@expobermuda.com

Could you also let me know if, heaven forbid, I've listed anyone who is no longer with us!

 Here are photos of our three super golden oldies:-

A much more difficult job is trying to maintain a list of those of our colleagues who are deceased.  We have such a list on our ExPo website which you can view at    https://expobermuda.com/index.php/expo-lists-2/list-of-deceased-colleagues   

Again, it would be greatly appreciated if you could check this list and let us know if there is anyone you know who has not been included.  We have at times heard of someone's passing a few years later, and as soon as we can confirm it we include them on our list.

On a final note  I would like to wish you all the very best of health, bearing in mind the vagaries of our advancing years.  I would be delighted to hear from you if you could write a brief note about where you are and what you're doing these days, and perhaps send me a fairly recent photo, for the “Keeping in Touch" column of our ExPo website.
