Last night’s town hall on gun and gang violence was a powerful reminder of both the pain and the resolve within our community. I thank every resident who showed up, spoke out, and demanded action.
The community made it clear: people want safer streets, better communication, and more than just words. The Government hears you.
We are moving urgently to:
- Strengthen policing capacity through increased recruitment, intelligence-led operations, and expanded use of technology.
- Invest in prevention by expanding youth outreach, mentorship, and support for families affected by violence.
- Increase transparency through regular reporting and community engagement.
This is not just a fight for Government or the Police, it’s a fight for all of Bermuda. We need parents, mentors, community groups, and every resident to play their part.
Last night was not the end of the conversation. It was a call to action. Together, we will not allow violence to define our future.
