It's not applicable to me, however in this weeks Police Review, Bermuda Police are advertising for qualified AFOs if anyone out there is interested.
(Don't know anymore details am afraid)

Found the ad. If anyone finds it illegible, let me know and I will forward it.
If aanyone is successful off the back of this, do I get a holiday..?

Best of luck. I'll start packing the shorts and sun lotion then...

Any serving Brit bermuda police officers out there? I am awaiting an interview regarding the current AFO intake and could do with some balanced opinion on accommodation, schools, cost of living etc.

Any views on how far the salary will cover a family of four? How easy is it for spouses to find work (nurse)?

There seem to be some quite negative comments about the service and I would be keen to see how serving officers feel.

Bit unsure whether it is a good idea!

Hi, did anyone applying for the Bermuda AFO role get any news after having their interviews which were held in London last week? I had my interview but have not heard anything so i am thinking i didnt get through.

Goody407

Did you have your interview? if so have you heard anything yet as to whether you have got the job etc?

I had my interview last week and haven't heard anything yet. I thought we may hear by yesterday.

Let me know how you get on when you find out. I think they said they would let us know either way.

I hope they let us know either way, I was going to e-mail Fiona but I guess I'll wait and see what happens, I'm not 100% about it as I'm only an AFO and not ARV which is what they are after but at least they made that clear at interview and if needed they would put an ARV course on for those that needed it!

Still not heard? I haven't

Had a phone call from Fiona Miller, recruitment officer informing me that I was successful in my interview for the AFO role, my paperwork is currently with the Assistant Commissioners office and I should expect paperwork in the post very soon.

I am aware that someone was informed last week, so maybe the process is a bit slow! Fingers crossed

mjwheatley355

Nice one, well done. When did you get the call?

Goody407

Thanks,

Got the call yesterday (21st) about 5pm. As I mentioned earlier someone posted on another thread that they had been successful also and that was about a week ago, so keep your fingers crossed!

Hi guys,

Glad to hear that other people have been sucsessful with the AFO interviews. I also found out last week. Like yourselfs I have only heared June time for transfer. I was told that we would be informed with enough time to give a full notice to our current forces, i.e 1 month.
Is anyone taking any family or partners over and know anything about getting them over.

Cheers
DC

I would like to take my family out there, I asked this question during interview and was told that we could, but BPS would not assist in this and that our family would be subject to the same immigration rules as anyone else seeking employment/residency. However having found out that I may have to retire from my current force the MPS and that there was no guarantee that I could rejoin I am reconsidering the offer, which is a shame as it would be a great opportunity. I'll speak with my boss next week and see what he suggests!
