Officer's diary

September 2002
The following information has been
received:
- a loan was paid to a woman police
officer who then spent the money to fund a cocaine addition,
we have asked thee Commissioner of police
if it is true:
-
a woman police officer has received a loan from the Bermuda
police, authorised by a senior rank
-
the loan ($40,000?) was made due to the officer’s debt problems
-
the loan was used to fund a cocaine habit
-
the officer's husband left the island
-
Is it the case
that the senior officer was aware of the woman police officer’s habit and that
said senior officer is a formerly of the narcotics department?
-
Is it correct that, although the above
is general knowledge, no action has been taken against he woman officer yet?
If so, why not?
-
What is the Bermuda police ‘service’
doing to protect its own staff, the public and the constabulary’s integrity?
It would appear that the loan is currently
the subject of much discussion in police circles and questions abound about the
integrity of the senior officer class.
If they did grant the loan, why? What
faith can one place in the senior officer class when they appear to be funding
drug habits. What other loans have been granted to drug users? Is it
truee that the Bermuda police do not consider cocaine use a crime and
effectively permit, if not encourage, its use?
effectively, the question is, why bother
investigating narcotics crime? It appears the police are only prepared to
pay lip service to the offences and permit the arrest of those who have no
influence to ensure that they can be seen to be taking action. In truth,
drug crime is simply too profitable, to too many, to risk adversely affecting
supply and incarcerate those making a profit from the suffering of others.
Bermuda police: get you own house in order
- lead by example. If you are incapable or unwilling to do this, then at
least have the decency to admit that you have no interest in narcotics crime and
stop misleading the public who suffer as a result.
