That team consists of a Chief Inspector, a Sergeant and a Constable. Mr. Edwards also questioned the publication of the service's new core values. He said the list, which includes headers such as professionalism, integrity, respect, accountability, dedication, courage and unity, are all things that, in his day, were stressed all the time. It's fine to say we are getting ready for the new millennium and Bermudian leadership and making sure everybody is involved, but when it comes to policing the community, we seem to be losing that. They are the children who have parents incarcerated in Bermuda's prisons.
None have the mobility to provide greetings for their children and few have money to buy gifts.
Prison Fellowship Bermuda circulates forms to provide inmates the opportunity of including their children in our Angel Tree programme. Our volunteers then contact the caregivers to gather information on children's ages, sex and sizes and Christmas wishes. Mr. Harris said the fellowship relies on the community's kindness to make the appeal a success and offered assurance that all gifts go directly to the children. It is always a great feeling to watch a child open a gift, especially from an absent parent, even more so when it is a surprise. But the true value of Angel Tree is the bond established between parent and child.
