Bermuda Police
Description
This site has been created as a result of a dispute between a former Bermuda Narcotics officer, DC 217 Swift and the Bermuda police following the officer's constructive dismissal. DC Swift was advised that he bucked authority (there were run-ins ) and it was alleged that he attempted to tape record Dennis Ramsey , a senior officer (denied and never evidenced). As a result his contract was not to be recommended for renewal. That came from the most senior officer on the island - no recourse to disciplinary action. Unsubstantiated, petty reasons were used to terminate the officer’s career. The Bermuda Police did not even comply with their own Force Standing Instructions , there was to be no hearing at which to clear the name. Despite DC Swift's allegations effectively leading to his boss, Dennis Ramsey, the then head of narcotics, leaving the constabulary, the police have failed to investigate the issues raised. This is the justice you can expect in Bermuda whether you are an employee of the police, a resident or a visitor.
DC Swift is understood to be the most prolific officer, in terms of arrests and working hours, the island has ever employed. Having a lead role in what has been described by a former senior Officer as " the largest and most serious crimes of conspiracy, drug trafficking, and money laundering ever conducted in the Bermuda Police Service ." The officer fell foul of senior officers, one of whom (Dennis Ramsey again!) was linked (information from the USA) in the very conspiracy DC Swift was investigating.
