The Bermuda Police Service shut the Criminal Records Office after material containing asbestos was recently found in a cabinet. The office has now been temporarily relocated in the force’s Human Resources Department, which is extending criminal vetting requests to 15 days or more.
It warned that “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.”
