Policing Paradise S02E04 08 Jun englishsub fullepisode‼️🍿‼️
Transcript
00:01Welcome to Bermuda, an island in the middle of the Atlantic.
00:08I wouldn't want to police anywhere else. It's paradise.
00:12A police service tackling crime.
00:15Looks like it all made in a Chevy, doesn't it?
00:18To keep this British Overseas Territory safe.
00:22We've got a bike failing to stop.
00:26Right now, you're swearing at me and I'm disrespectful.
00:30Up close to investigations.
00:33One of the most dangerous drugs in the market today is a killer.
00:37Is there extra pressure with it being linked to a murder? I'd say so.
00:41Catching criminals at the border.
00:43You are being placed under arrest and suspicion of conspiracy to employ drugs into the middle.
00:48At the airport.
00:49A9 has shown interest in your bags.
00:53And on the wheelchair.
00:55We're walking away from my officers.
00:57Can you stop the boat, please?
00:59With the busy summer here.
01:01Get back, please. Go back, go back.
01:03This is peak season for the police.
01:06Go, go, go, go, go.
01:10It's a sunny view, isn't it?
01:11Mm-hmm.
01:15Today in Bermuda, a disgruntled detainee.
01:18Y'all swan on that, man. You don't give a f*** off me.
01:20Right now, you're swearing at me. I took him off. I'm not taking any more.
01:26A mysterious crash with a missing driver.
01:29It's an elderly male somewhere in his 80s.
01:31They've experienced some sort of medical episode.
01:35And a heated exchange on the water.
01:38On the second place. Stop your boat.
01:40But you're walking away from my officer. You need to stop your boat, please.
01:46Bermuda, an island paradise, surrounded by crystal clear waters
01:51and home to thousands of luxury hotels and beachside residences.
01:57But for those arrested here, there's only one place to go.
02:01Hamilton Police Station, where the country's sole custody suite is located.
02:07All day, officers are bringing in detainees for processing.
02:12And I told you what would happen if you started, like, messing around
02:14and giving false information. Huh?
02:16And on duty today is police constable Miss Carol Scarratt,
02:20who was at the start of her eight-hour shift as the custody officer.
02:25No one broke out from this area on my watch.
02:30So this is a highly secure area.
02:33She's been providing bed and breakfast for detainees for 18 years.
02:38We are at Hamilton Police Station, not Hamilton Princess Hotel.
02:44This is one of our lovely styles.
02:46It may be no frills.
02:48Of course, we give our detainee a mattress to light on.
02:53With a limited menu.
02:55The luscious meals that we have here.
02:57This one is sausage and mash.
02:59Happy detainee is a happy custody area.
03:01But Officer Miss Scarratt is nonetheless proud of the provision here
03:06and will never tolerate difficult guests.
03:11The property for the guy was sent over?
03:15Yes, I gave his property to Detective Hollis.
03:18With over 2,000 arrests each year,
03:21custody welcomes in and processes around six detainees every day
03:26who can spend up to 48 hours in the cells.
03:34One detainee has been brought in overnight on an assault charge.
03:39Can you put on your shoe for me, please?
03:42And he's on a permitted call to notify a family member of his situation.
03:48Officer Miss Scarratt's shift is already heating up.
04:15The detainee wants the next court session, but without entering a plea, he can't.
04:20And his frustration turns aggressive.
04:22Why not get a call at 2,000? Look at the time.
04:25This morning was plea-court.
04:27Sure.
04:27You have to be in plea-court, which will plea to the information on the charge sheet,
04:33which will give to you.
04:34The plea could either be guilty or not guilty.
04:36And with language, Officer Miss Scarratt will not find acceptable.
04:41My information meant your fault.
04:42Why not get a call at 2,000?
04:46Right now, you're swearing at me and I'm disrespectful.
04:49I took it off, I'm not taking it anymore.
04:52Come, let's go back there.
04:53Can I get a look?
04:54Come.
04:55Come, let's go, please.
04:58Let's go back.
04:59In custody, confrontation like this comes with the territory.
05:03Back there. Thank you.
05:06And with years of experience under her belt, Officer Miss Scarratt takes it all in her stride.
05:13The thing that police have to go through, what I guess is my job.
05:16And as I clearly say in my force, it's in my DNA.
05:20So I appeal for this kind of thing.
05:22This doesn't work for me.
05:24I just do what I got to do and move on.
05:36A few floors up at Hamilton Police Station, Brit Detective Constable Nick Ackle has spent five years rising quickly through
05:44the ranks to the Criminal Investigation Department, tackling Bermuda's most serious crimes.
05:49It's been a crazy, crazy month. Burglaries, airport jobs, matters of national security. Yeah, so we do everything.
05:59He's partnered today with Detective Constable Quincy Fevrier.
06:03Quincy, to his friends.
06:05Since he's joined CID from uniform, he has become to realize that we work constantly, crazy, 24-7.
06:13If those demands weren't enough, Detective Nick also volunteers in the Bermuda Police Service, which he does in addition to
06:21his work as a detective.
06:22So today, apart from being super busy as usual in CID, another role I fulfill is Family Liaison Officer between
06:30victims of crimes and families who have unfortunately experienced a death.
06:34At the minute, I have a victim's property in here and I would like to return it back to the
06:40family today.
06:42I think one of the requirements you do need to be a Family Liaison Officer is to have empathy with
06:47people and just understand what they're going through to an extent.
06:51Let's crack on then in that case.
07:01I think the Family Liaison Officers are pretty much one of the unsung heroes in the Bermuda Police Service.
07:08Most of the people who do it, do it out of the goodness of their own heart and they want
07:12to help people, which is all about policing really at the end of the day.
07:17Helping families in their darkest moments is something he's used to.
07:23Before I became a police officer and moved here, I used to work in cancer care. I used to look
07:27after cancer patients.
07:28I tried to help people when I was in England doing that last job and now I get a chance
07:33to actively help people.
07:34So that's a good motivation for me for all of this.
07:41Detective Nick's task to return the belongings is always a challenging one.
07:47But as a Brit in Bermuda, navigating the roads is the first obstacle.
07:51I think it's down this way.
07:54One of the issues I have of being a foreigner here is finding where I'm supposed to be going half
07:59the time.
08:00And you've been here for six years now?
08:01I've been here for five years, but yeah. Dude, I used to get lost in the tube back in England.
08:07They find the right to dress and prepare themselves for the difficult task of returning the deceased's belongings to their
08:15loved ones.
08:21It was important for me to personally return that property just to show them I'm there for whatever they need.
08:28I just met with the victim's family and for the people left behind is always very difficult.
08:34But yeah, they're doing well.
08:35Family's going to take a short trip to get out of Bermuda just to chill out for a little bit.
08:39But yeah, he was very happy to get his family member's property back.
08:45It's always a sad one when you're dealing with the family.
08:47But again, as long as we're there and they know that we're there to help them with whatever they need.
08:52It was a tough task, but one, unfortunately, that Detective Nick has become used to.
08:59I'm okay. See, listen, I'm quite used to all this kind of stuff.
09:02I look at it as swallowing my personal feelings for a little bit, get the job done, then I can
09:06deal with it afterwards.
09:08Walking the dog. Anything ever wrong in my life, walk the dog, I always feel much better afterwards.
09:29Community policing in Bermuda means staying visible in key hotspot areas around the island.
09:36Busy with tourists visiting from around the world.
09:40Over in the west of the island at Somerset Station, experienced police constable Rajiv Bailey
09:46is at the start of his eight-hour shift.
09:48Ticket books. My pocket notebook.
09:52He's partnered today with police constable Chrislyn Lambert.
09:56We are all good to go.
09:59Gotta suit up.
10:01Are you comfortable?
10:03That's the thing. I just feel like I'm so short.
10:07Okay, I'm good.
10:08Sorted?
10:14So Chris, we're going to head to the dockyard now.
10:16Okay.
10:16We're going to do some high visibility drill.
10:18Okay.
10:19Check out the tourists. We've got a cruise ship in the dockyard, so see what they're saying.
10:23I've been a police officer for 18 years now.
10:26I'm a joker. I'm definitely a practical joker, but I am serious when it's time to be.
10:30I can't always be the bubbly guy on the street. You have to kind of portray that police officer, you
10:34know?
10:35That serious face, that dad face.
10:40Sounds like a good day today.
10:43The officers are heading up the dockyard.
10:46Bermuda's busiest port and a gateway for both cargo and thousands of tourists each week.
10:52So like, you know, because I'm not a seasoned issue.
10:58Right. What's that supposed to mean? I'm old?
11:01No, it just means, you know, you've got a lot more wisdom on the job than I do.
11:04Wisdom. Okay, we'll go with wisdom.
11:06I appreciate it.
11:09When it comes to cruise ships, you know, what's the weirdest thing you find on the person?
11:14I've had a customs officer turn something over to me that she thought was crystal meth.
11:19And it ended up being a lot of candy.
11:23Uh...
11:24I've always joked with Krislyn, I've called her my Padawan.
11:26You know, I'm her Jedi, she's my Padawan, and one day she's going to be a Jedi herself, right?
11:32So Kris, being two years into the job now.
11:35Mm-hmm.
11:36Full-time, is it what you expected?
11:38I think I've always been open-minded with the job in itself, especially when no two days are the same.
11:46And today is no exception.
11:49Their routine patrol is quickly interrupted by an emergency call from the far side of the island.
11:57So we've got a report of a single vehicle RTC, which is a rail chop collision.
12:02Um, however, the circumstances around this collision are a bit peculiar.
12:07Um, the only information we have right now is that it's as a result of some sort of a medical
12:12emergency.
12:12Um...
12:13With the situation unclear, officers Rajiv and Krislyn must get to the scene as quickly as possible.
12:23They arrive to find an abandoned car that's collided into a wall, but it appears the driver is nowhere to
12:30be seen.
12:31See, they just left.
12:34Let's figure it out.
12:35With no eyewitnesses, piecing together what's happened won't be straightforward.
12:41The first port of call is the fire service, who were first on the scene.
12:46You've got a first name left?
12:47Anything.
12:48Anything. All right.
12:49Appreciate you, bro.
12:51There are times when you get to a scene and you have absolutely no idea what's taking place.
12:55You try to piece together certain things like, what happened? Was this where this happened? Or was this where this
13:02happened?
13:03And sometimes just that curiosity can help you to piece something together to make a better picture.
13:13So the only information we can go for right now is it's an elderly male somewhere in his 80s.
13:18We'll confirm that information.
13:19That was coming to the doctor's office and at some point when they pulled in, they've experienced some sort of
13:27medical episode.
13:28Whether that's seizure or hopefully not too much worse than that.
13:35They turned their attention to the abandoned vehicle, looking for more clues.
13:41Vehicle is registered.
13:45Our next course of action is we'll try and identify who the driver was and if they're doing all right.
13:53The crash scene offers few answers and it's now up to officers Rajiv and Chrislyn to unravel what happened and
14:00track down the missing driver.
14:12Back at Hamilton Police Station, Officer Miss Skerritt is midway through her shift and paying close attention to her disgruntled
14:20detainee.
14:22Would you like a cup of tea?
14:24Yeah, we have ginger tea?
14:26Yes, I have ginger tea.
14:28Yeah, that'll help my stomach. My stomach kills me.
14:30Okay, I'll bring you a pack of ginger tea. That's my property, right?
14:34All right, thank you very much.
14:35Okay, you're welcome.
14:38So my detainee just asked for ginger tea. I have some sockets of ginger here.
14:44And I'll give my detainee a pack of tea to keep them happy while he's here.
14:47The man has had some time to calm down and she's doing everything in her power to keep him that
14:54way.
14:55Even offering him her personal stash of ginger tea.
15:00This is my favourite ginger tea. That's why I have it in abundance.
15:05So I have enough that I can share with my detainee to keep him happy.
15:11I brought you the cup of tea.
15:13Firm on the rules, fair on the care.
15:16Drink the hot tea.
15:18I don't want to hear nothing from you again until I come back for you.
15:21All right? Okay.
15:31Back from their liaison duties, Detectives Nick and Quincy return to an unusually quiet station.
15:37So they decide to check in on the state of playing in custody.
15:43P.C. Skerritt, how are we?
15:45I'm awesome. Now you're hearing better.
15:47P.C. Skerritt, she's a very interesting character.
15:51When I first came out of training school, I was with P.C. Skerritt for three months.
15:55It was the best training I ever had, but I didn't have a lunch break for three months, did I,
15:59P.C. Skerritt?
16:00Yes.
16:01I do see P.C. Skerritt as a mentor.
16:05She's an excellent police officer.
16:07She knows the law inside out.
16:09She's very, very hardworking.
16:11You taught me very well, didn't you?
16:12The oracle.
16:13The oracle of Bermuda, yeah.
16:15Policing's in her DNA.
16:18OK, and what's your reason for your visit today in custody?
16:20To come and check who's in custody today and see what's going on.
16:24OK.
16:25You need to check on your welfare, Mum.
16:26All right, we have one person to be interviewed.
16:28Are you guys here to interview that person?
16:30Detective Harvey's going to come down and do that for you.
16:33So we've organised that for you today.
16:37She is the intelligence mistress of Bermuda.
16:41If I want to know who it is or where they are or what relationship they're having or what colour
16:46car they've got, ask Skerritt because she will know.
16:50Sticking to the rules and the strict security protocols of custody are paramount for prisoner safety and something Officer Miss
16:57Skerritt takes very seriously.
16:59Why are you up here? Is that a detainee?
17:03You need to get down there with a detainee. This area is not for you. Get to your detainee, please.
17:08Get to your detainee, please.
17:11Every time I arrest someone here, one of the main things I say when I come in here, I go,
17:15listen, the only word of advice I can give to you, apart from all the legal stuff, be nice to
17:19P.C. Skerritt.
17:22P.C. Skerritt, yeah, P.C. Skerritt definitely gives me tough love.
17:26One of the tactics I do use is to feed her sandwiches on a regular basis.
17:31You want a sandwich today, P.C. Skerritt?
17:34Anything to keep you happy, P.C. Skerritt.
17:36I'm OK, but don't forget my sandwich.
17:38I won't forget your sandwich.
17:52I'll be happy to get you older.
17:54One of the things I've been doing is to be on the island, P.C. Skerritt, yeah.
18:00The morning you've got me to bring the sun.
18:05guards to help keep everyone safe out on patrol today is police constable hugo
18:14betzinger he's been jet ski policing for the past eight years i love being on the water so
18:24even if it means you're in in uniform and you're you know it's hot day and you're sweating it's
18:29it's still enjoyable and looking after other people i like assisting i like supporting i
18:34like giving service and to me that's a big thing you have a lovely day okay just saying hi
18:41just very much focused on looking looking after people trying to be as professional as possible
18:46trying to be polite kind and for officer hugo keeping up with the legal requirements is another
18:54big part of his job as bermuda has one of the highest boat ownerships in the world
19:02hey guys how you doing is that your vessel having registration on a boat in bermuda is
19:08is important because you actually know the boat is registered to a person you know who is in
19:13ownership of that boat um but it's involved in a collision um it's also having to pay your tax
19:21just make sure everybody's got a sticker on today you know the red one oh no i said down there
19:27you're
19:28having that good kind of conversations about why people have done something giving them advice
19:32but also having that discretion and if you need to write a ticket write that ticket let's ask you
19:37for a signature it doesn't mean you're guilty or not for those who are taking the ticket despite the
19:4150 ticket officer hugo's approach means the voters take it in good spirits
19:52but not every encounter on the water is met in the same laid-back bermudian style
19:59so there's a very small fraction of voters on the water who are not as pro-police or pro-coast
20:06guard as you'd like and it's not long before officer hugo spots another boat he suspects may not be
20:12legally up to date hey boss how are you doing just to check for um you got this sticker
20:19just on your front bow is it yeah just on your front bow
20:26that's not this year at all straight it's 2019 boss
20:31i have this button i have a little smooth back here okay just these guys are going to give you
20:36a
20:36check on you okay to make sure you have while he has a sticker it's displaying six years out of
20:42date
20:42but the boat owner is insistent
20:48uh ticket the uh merceness from 2019. okay do you need to take a book or do you want to
20:54check
20:54exactly got one may we get a reg check whilst his colleague from the coast guard matthew stephens
21:01runs the check officer hugo questions the boat owner just explain so what we're doing just checking
21:07to make sure whether or not you have registered it okay you sure you have that's received not finding
21:13anything in the government database and it's not good news for the man on board as he hasn't registered
21:20his boat for six years on the second base so it is in fact registered so thank you for that
21:26that's a good
21:27start the issue is is that you haven't registered it since 2019 and it is august as you can appreciate
21:33and everybody else has their sticker on you know i appreciate but you can appreciate that everybody
21:38else has their sticker on and so that is an issue okay so on the right you take it okay
21:44it's yeah it's
21:46not displayed that's the issue and while officer hugo writes the 50 dollar fine the boat owner is trying
21:53to give him the slip stop stop your boat put your boat in neutral for me put your boat in
21:57neutral for
21:58me please okay look we're gonna we're gonna issue this ticket then we can discuss that a little bit
22:02later okay but right now you're you're walking away from my officer you need to stop your boat please
22:07okay luckily coast guard matt is on hand for backup and soon puts a stop to his getaway
22:16wherever necessary um you need to enforce the rules the law um and to make sure people are
22:22are safe and abide by what is expected give me a good ticket okay thank you very much have
22:28a good safe day you don't want to be a killjoy but if you have to you do
22:33uh
22:46officers rajiv and chrislyn are at a mystery crash in the west of the island with no witnesses and an
22:54abandoned vehicle they're trying to uncover who the driver was and their whereabouts the crash site
23:01sits on land owned by the local church and the site's caretaker has just arrived on the scene
23:07are you a representative from the church yes good awesome sir how are you i am constable bailey
23:13so obviously you've seen what's taking place yeah he has helpful information to identify the missing
23:19driver you know everyone knows everybody you know hey that's susan's son i know him yeah he works at
23:25the gas station yeah all right any questions for us not really well i want to know if he's okay
23:30that's what he does so with the driver of the car identified and his whereabouts confirmed as bermuda's
23:37only hospital the officers head to the next of kin for a welfare check and to gather more evidence
23:45his condition is in question at the moment he is not responsive unconscious don't know his disposition
23:55at this stage so what we need to do is just to make sure that the family are aware of
24:00how urgently
24:01they're needed at the hospital
24:06yeah some people i mean responses vary i mean like i said police in paradise but then you get those
24:12jobs
24:13when you go and people are crying on you it was apparent that he had some sort of a medical
24:22episode
24:22he does have seizures so when's the last time he had a seizure in april in april i think it's
24:29pretty important that you go down there and speak to the doctors yeah i would look into it just for
24:35the
24:35safety of himself and others yeah she was nonchalant she was like he's a big man he can come home
24:41when
24:41he's ready all right the officers have done all they can tracking down the missing driver and family
24:48and uncovering what led to the crash we've done our part right you know we've gone we've told the
24:54family hey this is what's happened you know and i think he did a good job you know handling that
