This Monday’s episode of Policing Paradise features a mix of routine calls and island-specific challenges, all handled with the characteristic blend of British policing and Bermudian charm.
Sergeant Helen McHugh, Bermuda’s first female officer in the armed response unit, takes center stage as she responds to an unlicensed bike incident. Things get more complicated when she discovers the rider has an outstanding arrest warrant. Later, McHugh teams up with Jonathan Wood to investigate a crash involving a civilian vehicle and a police motorbike, a delicate situation requiring careful assessment.
Elsewhere, Officer Chris Douglas and PC Carol Skerritt handle the less glamorous side of police work – stocking up on uniforms at the police warehouse, a facility that houses approximately $5 million worth of supplies. Later, PC Douglas gets to let loose and enjoy Bermuda’s vibrant annual carnival. Meanwhile, officers Eddie Smith and Jen Ysseldyke are called to investigate reports of suspicious activity at a local cricket ground, providing a dash of light humor as Officer Smith jokes about the nuances of the sport.
From traffic incidents to missing person reports – in this case, a 98-year-old woman who is safely returned home by officers Jen Suter and Taye Lambe – “Policing Paradise” captures the diverse nature of police work in a unique environment. Tune in to BBC One on Monday, April 7th at 2:00 PM to experience a day in the life of Bermuda’s finest.
