Bermuda National Security and Defence Review 2014 Bermuda National Security and Defence Review Towards a more secure Bermuda Design and pre-press production: Department of Communication and Information Printed in Bermuda by Bermuda Press Ltd. ~ February 2014 2014 National Security and Defence Review Towards A More Secure Bermuda Copyright © 2014 Government of Bermuda All rights reserved Design and pre-press production: Department of Communication and Information Printed in Bermuda by Bermuda Press Ltd National Security and Defence Review Committee Lightbourne & Simmons Building 61 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM 12 6 February 2014 His Excellency the Governor Mr. George Fergusson Government House 11 Langton Hill Pembroke East HM 13 Your Excellency, National Security and Defence Review Committee Final Report Towards a More Secure Bermuda As Chairman of the National Security and Defence Review Committee, I have the honour to forward to Your Excellency the Final Report of the Committee which was appointed by Your Excellency on Wednesday, 22 May 2013. The Committee’s mandate was, briefly stated, to undertake a fundamental review of Bermuda’s national security needs, to assess the resources required to meet those needs and to make recommendations on the structures and organization required. It quickly became apparent to the Committee that its remit was, in many respects, a groundbreaking undertaking and that the inquiry marked the first time that such a wide-ranging and comprehensive assessment of the Island’s security capabilities has been carried out. The Committee believes that its Final Report appropriately fulfils its mandate. In approaching its task, the Committee received volumes of information not only from uniformed organizations such as the Bermuda Regiment, the Bermuda Police Service and HM Customs, but also from a diverse and broad cross-section of the community with a keen interest in and a passionate commitment to ensuring that Bermuda is well served in all aspects of security. The information gathered by the Committee emanated from written and/or oral submissions from individuals and organizations. The Committee is indebted to all who provided information for their willingness to share that information and for their unreserved candour in doing so. Many of the recommendations being proposed by the Committee will, of course, potentially have consequential financial implications. However, the Committee considers that this fact alone should not preclude consideration being given to these recommendations. The Committee commends to Your Excellency and to the Government of Bermuda NATIONAL SECURITY AND DEFENCE REVIEW i the recommendations in this Report in the sincere belief that these recommendations provide a sound and secure platform upon which the security needs of Bermuda can be properly and appropriately addressed for years to come. In submitting its Report, the Committee wishes to record, with sadness, the sudden death in early January 2014 of Mrs. Louise A. Jackson, OBE, JP. Mrs. Jackson was a valued and enthusiastic Member of the Committee, someone who brought insight, energy, passion, humour and a wealth of knowledge to the task at hand. Her commitment to this review never wavered and her contributions to the shaping of the Final Report will be a lasting memory for all of us who had the pleasure of knowing her and serving with her. Your Excellency, it has been both an honour and a privilege for me and my fellow Committee Members to have been invited to undertake this significant assignment and it is our hope that this Report will provide a practical platform from which Bermuda’s security needs can be addressed appropriately.
