Commissioner Williams assured residents that the Bermudian Landing police station will be reinforced with additional officers to ensure a 24-hour presence. He also pledged to improve police mobility, facilitating faster response times.
Area Representative Leal echoed the Commissioner’s commitment, announcing the installation of lamp posts across all nine villages to improve visibility and deter crime.
