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 info@expobermuda.com
WEBSITE BACK IN ACTION
We’ve received numerous calls asking about the problems we’ve been having with our ExPo website during the past 2 months. Very briefly, for most of the time you could still view the website and search through it, but we were not able to gain access to the administration site to post new articles.
Most of the issues have been fixed and we are back in action but there is more work to be done to upgrade the site in order to avoid any similar problems in the future.
While the website was out of action we tried to keep our readers up-to-date by posting articles on our ExPo Facebook page. CLICK HERE to view our Facebook page if you don’t know where to find it.
Most of the Facebook articles have now been added to our website, and sadly that includes reports on five of our colleagues who have passed in recent months. On a more cheerful note our latest “Then and Now” article features Ronald “Ronnie” Smith; we report on “Fudge” Flood receiving a Commissioner’s Commendation for services to the BPS over 4 decades; and we report on the comings and goings of our members, some of whom visited us during the summer months, and a reunion held in Liverpool just this last week, all published in our ‘Keeping in Touch’ column.

Hall of Fame - This section is intended to honour the memories of former colleagues who are no longer with us. They are usually kindly submitted by family and friends, and we urge the families of our former colleagues to assist us in including their loved ones in our Hall of Fame.

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 info@expobermuda.com or post them on our ExPo Facebook page.
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 are usually about Police-related matters but we also try to bring your attention to other matters which may be of particular interest to you.
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 reminisce about the good times as you stroll down memory lane.
You do not need to be a paid up member of Bermie Ex-Po to be able to enjoy our website, but we would encourage all former members of the Bermuda Police normally resident in Bermuda to join our organization. The annual cost of membership is $40, and for persons over 70 it is $20. Widows and widowers of former officers are honorary members, as are retired civilian staff. We are most grateful to the Police Association for a generous donation that made the creation of this website possible, but we normally have to rely on membership fees to keep it active and up-to-date.
