1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 SECURITY CLASSIFICATION This document is marked as UNCLASSIFIED as there are no sensitive details contained in it and it is expressly written to be circulated both internally and externally. 1.2 DATA INTEGRITY 1 The statistics, tables and graphs contained in this document are based on substantiated cases, which are active investigations of an incident that has definitely happened. This is as opposed to using incident data, which is an initial recording of a crime that has yet to be substantiated. While every effort is made to ensure that the information contained in this report is accurate, the BPS makes no warranty, representation or guarantee as to the content, sequence, accuracy, timeliness or completeness of any data or information provided. The reader of the following pages should not rely on the data provided for comparison purposes over time, or for any reason. The BPS shall assume no liability for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the information provided. The BPS will not be responsible for the use of, or the results obtained from the use of this document. The BPS assumes no liability for any decisions made or actions taken or not taken by the user in reliance of this document. Any use of the document for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1.3 EXPLANATION OF GRAPHS The graphs used in this report include standard deviation, which has been used as a means of objectively measuring how much the crime rate has varied over time and is useful in identifying extreme highs and lows of crime. Standard deviation has been used so that where the crime rate is above the red line (2 standard deviation above the mean average), it is considered exceptionally high. Where the crime rate is below the blue line (2 standard deviation below the mean average), it is considered exceptionally low. In both cases it can be referred to as statistically significant (high or low) and is an indication of whether the quarterly statistics are exceptionally high or exceptionally low. 1.4 AIM The aim of this report is to produce accurate, timely, objective information that: Enables informed decisions to be made on the types of crime that threaten the safety of the community. Is used to proactively manage risks to the island and ensure effective policing, redeploying and directing resources at a strategic and tactical level, as required. Facilitates effective and open communication with our stakeholders, developing the means to inform them of the plans, efforts and progress being made by the BPS. Provides meaningful information as one of the means of reassuring communities in Bermuda.

4. FIREARM INCIDENTS

Firearm Offences are included within Crimes Against The Community (Section 5); however Firearm Incidents2 may not necessarily be recorded as offences, as often there is no suspect or even a victim. 4.1 SUMMARY In Q4 2013 there were 4 firearm incidents, of which 3 were confirmed firearm incidents and 1 was an incident which involved the recovery of a firearm and or ammunition. This compares to 7 confirmed firearm incidents and 1 incident involving the recovery of a firearm and or ammunition in Q3 2013. In Q4 2012, there were 13 confirmed firearms incidents and 6 incidents involving the recovery of a firearm and or ammunition. There was a decrease in year on year firearm incidents with 39 in 2013 compared to 52 in 2012. There were 22 forensically confirmed firearm incidents in 2013 compared to 29 in 2012 and 26 in 2011. This can be seen in Figure 8, which shows firearm incidents between 2010 and 2013: Figure 8: Firearm Incidents In Bermuda (2010 2013)

To enable accurate recording, analysis and reporting of firearm incidents, the BPS classifies firearm incidents into 2 categories which are split into Confirmed or Recovery Of A Firearm and Or Ammunition . An Confirmed incident is where a person has been shot (fatally or wounded), a person has been shot at and corroboration is provided by forensic recovery of ballistic material, CCTV footage showing a firearm, reliable witness testimony or a person is charged with a firearms offence connected to the incident, a firearm is used in the commission of a criminal act and corroboration has been obtained, or a report of a firearm discharged and forensic material (bullet casings) have been recovered. A Recovery Of A Firearm and Or Ammunition is where a firearm, ammunition or imitation firearm is recovered by police.

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED 4.2 FIREARM TRENDS In 2013 there were 9 firearms recovered, 3 fatalities and 5 injuries by firearms. In comparison, there were 10 firearms recovered in 2012, 5 fatalities and 7 injuries. This brings the total number of persons shot since Q1 2010 to 72, of which 20 have been fatal shootings.
