Welcome to Bermuda -

a small island paradise
in the middle of the Atlantic.

Seeing the turquoise waters,
it does lift my mood.

We'll go along the coast, OK?
See you up there.

A dedicated police service...

SHOUTING

Somebody's going to need to open
this door pretty quickly.

..is keeping this British Overseas
Territory safe.

Right turn!

I think he wears the uniform
very well.

Do you want the $20 now?

Officers, including Brits,
doing their duty...

It's tough and it's really
humid today.

The reality is that
there are challenges.

..crime-busting in a place
where anything can happen...

I didn't really expect the cows
to run out the gate. Uh-oh!

..going to great lengths
to catch criminals.

SIREN WAILS

Oh, she's gone-gone.
She's gone.

Cannot make this up.

With summer tourists
arriving in droves...

Whoo!
Whoo!

..this is peak season
for the police.

Listen, listen.
Calm down.

I love policing.
It's in my DNA.

In Bermuda today...

INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER

..newly qualified officer Holly

faces her first proper shift
on patrol...

We've had a call for service.

It wasn't a quiet one.
It was a baptism of fire.

..family guy Officer Eddie
is out to make Bermuda safer...

You just passed through
a speed check at 60K.

..while two Brits tackle
a known offender.

Somebody has seen somebody
with a similar description to you

hanging around bikes late at night.

If he's harassing members
of the public and tourists,

then we have to deal with it.

Former nurse Holly Lavigne-Smith,
from Bristol,

has just finished five months
of training to become

a police officer in Bermuda.

Missiles!
Missiles!

It is, honestly, the best job
in the world,

and I just wanted to do it so badly.

When I found out I'd passed,
it was, honestly,

one of the best
feelings I've ever felt.

It's Sunday afternoon, and Holly is
on her first proper shift

as a qualified police constable.

Oh, we could go get you some
tickets or something.

Oh, yeah, we could do that.

And taking Holly under her wing

is partner and mentor
Moya Ogilvie-Milwood.

I'm looking forward to it.
I'm a little bit apprehensive.

Erm, PC Milwood makes me
work quite hard.

And she makes me do the radio,
which is the thing I fear the most.

So, we'll see how I go.

She's going to need to contact
Operations to let them know

where we're heading to,

so that they can know exactly
where to find us

if something should go wrong.

Hotel 7 to Oscar 10-5.

Holly does not like the radio.

She was very much intimidated.

INDISTINCT VOICE ON RADIO

We're 10-15 to Spice Hill
to conduct inquiries.

10-4.

When you speak on the radio, every
single unit in Bermuda can hear you,

so I'm very aware of that
at the moment.

You've got to know
how to use the radio.

You definitely have to know
how to be short and concise.

I also have quite a soft voice,
so I get a lot of, erm...

..people
saying that I need to, er...

What do you say? Speak with...
Say it with your chest.

Say it with my chest, apparently,
so, yeah.

Well, erm, I'm working on that.

I definitely get her being nervous.

I just want her to be able to handle
whatever is thrown at her,

and she'll get there.

It's not long before Holly's traffic
policing skills are put to the test.

Oh, hell, no.

So basically, the person
just disobeyed the stop sign.

So...

..we're going to speak to him
about that.

Holly, I would like you
to take the lead.

In policing, you're making really
important decisions all the time.

The adrenaline really
starts pumping.

Good afternoon, sir.
Can I have your licence?

Do you know you didn't stop
at the stop sign back there?

Not even...not even conscious of it.
OK.

So I'm going to just
take your licence,

and I'm just going to check it, OK?

I'm going to have to give
you a ticket.

OK?
You don't HAVE to give me a ticket.

All right, so... You really
don't HAVE to... Well, it's...

I'm like, Sunday driving.

This is not the fastest bike
in Bermuda.

This is one of the slowest bikes
I'm on here.

And when you pulled me over,
I said, "Me?"

LAUGHTER

Holly now has a difficult
decision to make.

You want me to do a ticket
or a MAN form?

This is your discretion.

You saw the offence?
Yeah. OK.

And then what you do when you see
an offence is totally on you.

You also need to call in the stop.
Yeah.

Hotel-seven to Oscar-ten-five.

I'm doing a traffic stop
on Cavendish, Reid Street.

10-4.

Disobeying a stop sign.

You know you have the knowledge.
You know you have the fitness.

And...and I know I have
the emotional resilience.

So I think that's the big
difference

from being in training
and being on your first shift.

Hello, I'm PC 2608, Lavigne-Smith.

I'm going to give you
a warning this time.

I can see that you're being...
That is very gracious of you.

..being cooperative with us,
and you understand what you've done.

Yeah. And you're not going to
ever do it again. Yes.

Cos you know the dangers of it.
Yes.

Be careful. I can change my mind,
sir.

No, no, I... Yeah? You understand?
I will never do it again.

Yes, yes. OK, next time...

Yes, Officer.
..you will get your...

You will get a ticket.
I'll be very conscious of it.

Do I give him the yellow or the...?

Yes. Does he get the yellow?

As you can see, it's a warning,
and why you've been stopped.

Yes, ma'am. It's your behaviour
when you're driving, OK?

Yes. So, like I said,
to keep yourself safe,

and everyone else,
please, don't do this again, OK?

Thank you, ma'am. I will...I will
be very conscious of it.

Get home safely. Thank you.
Thank you.

You all enjoy.

That was a lot.
There's so much to remember.

And you think, actually,
it's actually just a simple stop.

But the thing about policing,

you have to make a decision
at the time.

And this gentleman was very nice.

He had a good attitude.
He admitted to the offence.

He knew exactly what he was doing.

So I made the decision
to give him a warning this time.

She dealt with it, erm,

how I would have expected her
to deal with it.

Erm, she's been trained well.

THEY LAUGH

At some point, she's going to learn
that you can't always be nice.

Erm, this job has no mercy.

It has no thanks whatsoever.

But, er...

She will learn to, you know,
balance the niceness.

I actually feel like, next time,
I know where I can do better.

And he was really understanding.

But, yeah, it was...it was
nerve-racking, but I did it.

It's late afternoon in one
of Bermuda's wealthier suburbs.

British officers Jonathan Wood,
known as Woody,

and Sergeant Helen McHugh,
are working together.

With the other British officers,

we've got a close connection,

and I think it's a brilliant place
to come and live.

It is a different way of life,
but we're a tight-knit family.

Priority for me this week, now,
is to get my hair cut,

because my hairdresser has been
off-island for the last two weeks.

And has she come back?
She got back today.

Hence the current hair.

Officers Woody and Helen
go to speak to a woman

who's reported a man
acting suspiciously around her home.

Hello, Rosie. How are you?
Hi. Hi.

Do you want to just
talk us through again

what...what actually happened?

Yeah. And where it happened.
Yeah.

So, erm, so it was early hours
of the morning,

and I was walking up
from the bottom of the drive here.

And I noticed him around
by where the car is over there.

And what time of the day
did you say this was?

This was at, like,
2:30 in the morning.

OK. So it was dark anyway?
It was completely dark.

And there's no lighting
around here, either.

Right. Could you say how tall
he was, what his build was like

and things like that?
Yeah. So he was...he was a tall guy.

He was about, I would say,
he's like six, six foot four

and, like, heavily set,
like a big...a big guy.

Yeah. Do you know what race
he would have been?

Er, he was a black man, like,
wearing quite scruffy clothing.

He started talking to me,

and he kind of started off
being like, "Oh, good evening."

And I was trying to avoid as much
contact as I could

with a strange male
at 2:30 in the morning. Right.

And then he asked whether
he could come in

for some... For a glass of water.

He said he was really thirsty.
Right. But then he said,

"Oh, sorry to ask this," or
"I hope you don't mind me asking."

He was like,
"But are you here alone?"

And then he said,
"Does your husband live here,

"or are you here with your parents?"

And then I just went fully, like,
flight mode

and just, like, got to the door,
got in.

I wouldn't say that his speech
sounded slurred,

but he didn't seem as though he was
necessarily, erm,

like, that sharp or that with it.
OK.

Cos we have had some problem
with a guy in Warwick

who we do know from town.

It does sound like a similar
description, what you're giving.

It's close enough that it might
be worth us just having a word

to find out if they've been
in this area.

And if so, say to stay away.

And if so, would you be happy
with that?

Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Yeah.

You said it's your sister's place?
Yeah.

Might be worth her getting
some Ring cameras or just

some sort of cameras.
Oh, OK. Just for extra security.

Then if something does happen,
at least we've got

that as a backup for evidence.

Obviously, if you get anything
like that again, just call us

straight away and officers
will come down.

There's no issue with an
emergency call... Oh, OK.

..if you feel that scared
with someone being here, especially

that time of the morning. Yeah.

So reassuring.

It was definitely something
that I wasn't sure whether I could

raise or whether I should raise,
because I thought, there's not

anything that I can see
that he's actually done wrong.

It was just a frightening
experience.

Officers Woody and Helen think
they might know who the man is,

but first they have to find him.

For newly qualified British officer
Holly, the training in

real-life policing continues.

She's on patrol with her more
experienced partner, Officer Moya.

What we're going to do is
what we consider traffic initiative.

It's just another way of
engaging the public,

ensuring that our roads are safe.

OK.

When you go through your training
phase, you're really in a bubble.

And as nervous as you are,
when you're getting tested

in training school,
it is never the same as when you go

on the street.

It involves being on the radio
a lot.

Yeah, that's why I'm so apprehensive
about it.

It's more when they tell me
the information back that I

get quite stressed over.
But it's fine. It's fine.

Everything will be fine.

You definitely have to have some
level of toughness to you,

because when you get on the street,
it is not the easy-go-lucky

training school environment.

Hotel 7 to Oscar 10-5.

Bermuda has a problem with uninsured
and unlicensed vehicles,

so police stops are much needed.

All right. So I'm going to need you
to pull over a vehicle.

To do that...

..you don't want to stand in the
middle of the road, obviously,

because you need to stay safe
as well. Right?

Have you got your licence on you?

OK. Thank you very much.

Even though our crime rate
may not be as high,

we have a very high
road traffic accident rate,

and a lot of it stems
from motorcycles.

Do I say a 10-31 or...?

Uh, you want to do a 10-31,
go ahead.

Can I have a 10-31 on...

The 10-31 is a full check
of a person and the vehicle.

OK. OK. Thank you, sir. No problem.

That's great. Have a nice day.

Will do. Drive safely.

I'm getting there.
I'm getting more confident.

She's doing pretty good.

The more she does it,
the more she will feel comfortable

and she'll be able to do it.

Yep.

All right, so you're going to
select a vehicle

and you're going to pull
that vehicle over.

Good afternoon. We're just
doing a traffic initiative,

so I just need your licence.
Thank you very much.

I'm just going to call this in.

So if you just stay here a second,

I'm looking at the back
of your bike.

Can we get another unit?

Suddenly, an urgent call comes in.

10-9 that location.

RADIO DISPATCHER GIVES ADDRESS

RADIO CHATTER

We've had a call...
Call for service. Call for service.

So basically, it's almost
like a distress call.

Another unit has asked for us
to back up.

So we're just going there now.

We don't know the situation yet.

When one of those comes in,
your heart starts going.

To be honest, you start
fearing the worst.

7, 10-5.

We're not quite sure exactly
what's happening at the location,

so once they call for assistance,
we need to get there

as soon as possible.

You just have to be prepared
to deal with whatever

it is you see on scene.

You could call 68.

RADIO DISPATCHER RESPONDS

Hotel 7 to Oscar 10-68.

We come into a situation where
it has escalated to a point

where we need urgent
police assistance.

A suspect has become violent,
but armed response officers

have arrived on scene
to calm the situation.

It wasn't a quiet one,
so it was a baptism of fire.

Put it that way.

The officers called for assistance,
but by the time we got there,

they had gotten enough assistance
from other units.

The safety of training school feels
like a long, long time ago now.

And, yeah, it... And I...

And PC Milwood makes me feel like
I am needed.

So, that kind of, I mean,
that's scary, but it makes me feel

like I can help.

Eddie Smith, an officer
with more than 30 years' experience

in the Bermuda Police Service,
is on patrol.

Bermuda is definitely a nice place.

I've never patrolled anywhere else,
but I also can't imagine doing that.

I can drive towards people
and wave and speak and they wave

and speak back.

I wouldn't want to police
anywhere else.

I wouldn't want to raise my kids
anywhere else.

And my intent is just to take
a position,

a static position over by this
yellow wall, observe the traffic.

Officer Eddie is armed
with a speed detection device.

Good day, young man. How you doing?
All's well with me, sir.

Great. Have a good time.
All right, you enjoy that walk.

I enjoy doing this work
because of the proactiveness in it.

We can get people to slow down.

We can get people to pay attention
to what they're doing.

Speed limit may be 35km,

but people generally do somewhere
between 50km to 60km.

Accidents are happening
every day of the week.

I guess I've experienced,
you know, going to accidents

and having to deal with the family
members, whether it's bad injuries

or some loss of life
as a result of an accident.

It's disturbing.

And at this point,
I can't say I know how to fix it.

Hey, you got a ghost machine.
What's up, man?

Turn it off for me, please.

Good afternoon. How you doing?

Do you have your driver's licence
on you?

You just passed through
a speed check,

I don't know if you can
see that, at 60k.

Speed definitely is in relation
to extensive damage,

extensive injury.

Normally with that excessive speed
that you do,

that put other people in jeopardy.

All right. You got a court date here
for Tuesday 22nd August at 2:30.

All right. You wish to sign this?

It's about encouraging people
to take responsibility

for that behaviour.

Please slow down.

Take your time, yeah?

I got it.

I also have two kids,
17-year-old and a 16-year-old.

My 16-year-old is now, today
actually, starting his Project Ride

to get his licence.

And for him to be on the roads,

although I intend to teach him
correctly, he can't account

for everybody else's behaviours
on the road.

And that's a concern for me
as a parent.

SPEED SENSOR BEEPS

Officers Woody and Helen were told
about a man acting suspiciously

late at night outside a woman's home
in the Warwick Parish of the island.

Now they want to track him down.

We've seen a guy who causes us
some issues sometimes

in Hamilton centre itself
in the city.

But just recently, we've been
having phone calls about him

in the Warwick area quite a lot,
as well.

I can't say for definite
that it's him.

The description was similar,
but she's not able

to identify them definitively.

Can you see him?

Loop around a few times,
see if we see him. Yeah.

He's probably gone up
the alleyway next to...

Yeah. He tries to avoid us,
doesn't he, if he gets a chance?

But he was by the entrance of
Dockies.

Yeah. Oh, there you go.

OK.

Is everything all right?
Has he been arrested?

Not yet, no. All right, OK.
INAUDIBLE

Right...

I actually needed to just
have a quick word with him

about something, if it's OK.

Yeah, about something
totally different.

Do you know
where Blu restaurant is? No.

You know Blu restaurant.
I don't.

You don't know Blu Restaurant?

I'm not trying to say anything.
Let me finish.

Somebody has seen somebody
with a similar description to you

hanging around bikes late
at night.

I'm not saying it's you,
but the description was similar.

This person also approached
their address and asked a lady

if they lived there alone,
and if anyone else was there. No.

Does that ring any bells to you?
No. OK.

Well, all I'm going to say is
if it was you,

don't be in that area again,
don't be doing that,

because it's bothering people
and it's scaring them. All right?

If it's not you,
then don't worry about it.

But if it is, I don't want to
hear another report

that that's happening again. OK?

Happy?

OK. I'm going to leave you with
these guys again, then, now.

Thanks, mate.

It is difficult. You've got to
try and weigh up their own needs

against the problems that
they're causing for people.

So you've got that balancing act
there.

The gentleman we were speaking to
is a well-known gentleman

in the area.
He's got no fixed abode.

So he goes around the streets
and he asks people for money.

He's quite a big gentleman,
so sometimes

he can intimidate people.

And the way he asks sometimes
is quite aggressive, the way

he comes across. So we get lots of
complaints about him.

He does have somewhere
that he could possibly stay,

but he chooses not to.

So people make their choices.

And then it's for us
to deal with it.

And at the end of the day,
if he's harassing members

of the public and tourists,
then we have to deal with it.

Officer Eddie Smith
is a police driving instructor.

His 16-year-old son, Amir, will need
to commute to college soon.

And for that, he's going to need to
learn to ride a motorbike.

What are we going to do today
is start off the lesson

just by you taking the bike, walking
in a figure-eight and getting used

to that weight. First.
All right? So just take it... First.

Take the nice figure-eight
around the cones.

Then we'll just take a ride up,
come to the circle, ride back.

I've seen after 35 years
a lot of different accidents.

And after you see enough of it,
it's the worst of it

that stays in your head.

And if I think about the
reality of him being out

on the road riding, him getting
into a traffic collision...

You just don't know.
And it's the not knowing.

It strikes a layered piece into you
named horror.

Just before we get to ride,
I just want you to get in the habit,

just lean it towards me
and give me a reaction, too.

Nice.

Now, if it gets too much
and it feels like it's going to pull

away and fall, it's a bike, drop it.

Yeah. Right?

The bike can go to the shop
and get fixed.

Injuries take a little longer
to deal with.

I cope with it at this point
by making sure that he's trained,

that he's prepared.
I can only give him what I know.

While you're gearing up, this is
also you doing your safety check

on the bike.

There are certain techniques,

there are elements to it
that make you so much safer

by having that check
over your shoulder as you're riding,

look into the space that
you're riding, and just technical

things that I wanted to give
and put into him.

Watching him be confident,

watching him be confident with
the bike, whilst he still had some

elements to tighten up on,
it made me feel better.

Try it at speed, inside the line.

He's doing all right. You can see
he has nice control of the cycle.

It's going to be harder.
It's going to be more challenging.

I need to make sure that I'm safe.
So that's the part

that I don't like about the roads.

Five weeks later, Officer Eddie's
training has paid off.

Amir passed his test
and now has his licence.

Surprise!

His reward -
a brand-new bike from Mum and Dad.

Ultimately, as a father,
it's my job to give him

everything I have.

Because Dad isn't always
going to be here.

Newly qualified
Officer Holly Lavigne-Smith

is five hours into her first
proper shift with mentor,

Officer Moya Ogilvie-Milwood.

She's doing well.

She's gradually grasping everything
as we go along,

and she's doing very good
for the first day, yeah.

I am a bit worried because looking
at what you do, I can't ever imagine

being in that place.

So I feel like that brings me
quite a lot of anxie-...

And it shouldn't, because, trust me,
you're going to get there.

At some point, you get to that stage
where you're going to be so good,

you're going to be mentoring
a constable.

You may even be my sergeant.

THEY LAUGH

They've been called to a house
in the south of the island

where a police incident
occurred the night before.

Do you know what actually happened?

I believe it was just
a suspicious person who may have

ran from police... Oh, OK.
..and left some property behind.

So it will possibly assist us
in getting DNA or whatever we can

to help identify the people
that were seen last night. OK.

Hotel 7 to Oscar, 10-5.

DISPATCHER RESPONDS

There's a dog.

When I was going to that call,

I was expecting somebody
to come and hand me stuff.

I didn't expect it to be
where it was.

If the officers are to collect
the evidence they've come for,

the dog is the least
of their worries.

I was not planning on getting stung.

I got stung once and I do not
want to get stung again.

BUZZING

It appears that the person
who may have run away from police

may have came through this yard
and have dropped this helmet

and that bandanna right there.

And so it's just an assumption

that these persons would have
ran through here.

Thankfully, there wasn't any rain
last night, so hopefully

we could get something that we could
use, maybe DNA, something

that we could use to assist
in identifying who the person was.

Right now, there are bees!

So I'm trying not to get stung.

I really don't like bees.

And in your training, they tell
you all about all the dangers

that you're going to come across,
and they never mentioned bees.

So, this is not fun!

So what we're going to do
is just collect these properties now

so that they can make the decision
whether they're going to test them

for DNA or what. I don't want to
make these guys angry.

She's new. She's kind of timid.

I would not want to see her
get stung.

Thank you, sir.
Have a good Sunday.

It would have been good to know
that there were bees on the property

and we needed to be careful.

Maybe I needed a hazmat suit!

That's probably the most scary
thing I've experienced so far.

And it was bees!

But, yeah, I'm not going to want
to go back there any time soon.

When have you ever done
officer safety

and they tell you about bees?

Have you got any other fears
that you, like, worry you'll

come into contact with?

Um...

My irrational fear,
it's, like, animals.

Like, especially, like,
I don't know, like, monkeys or birds

in human clothes.

THEY LAUGH

I...

Wait.

I don't... What?!

THEY LAUGH

Oh, God.
I'm going to have to stop this car.

The weirdest fear ever there is.
It was absolutely funny.

I feel like it went pretty well.

I think that we went to, like,
quite a lot of the bread and butter

of policing today.

She's catching on quite quickly.

I would say she did pretty well.

I actually don't think
I've had a day where I've seen

someone doing so much
at the same time.

It's your first day.
Yeah.

Yeah, I know, but it's crazy.

Next time, we find the police
locked behind bars...

SHE SIGHS

Cannot make this up.

..and do a deep dive into
underwater crime.

The most serious crime I've had to
deal with on the water is murder.
