Bahamas Police Resume Police Clearance Issuance
Police have resumed criminal record vetting — but the process is now taking 15 days.
The Bermuda Police Service shut the Criminal Records Office after material containing asbestos was found in a cabinet on July 3.
Police said the office has now been temporarily relocated in the force’s Human Resources Department.
But they warned: “The turnaround time for processing applications, for which no issues are identified, has been extended to 15 working days.
“Applications that encounter any ‘red flag indicators/concerns’ such as recent police contact, criminal cases past or current will likely cause further delays or may not be able to be completed until full resumption of operations can be achieved.”
The Human Resources Department is next to the old location at Police HQ in Prospect. Hours remain 9am to 3pm, Monday to Friday.
Any outstanding vetting requests submitted on or before July 2, require resubmission of the original paperwork, along with the Bermuda Government issued receipt.
