Welcome to the website of the Royal Bahamas Police in the Bimini Division.  Our hope is that through this site you can learn more about the Bahamas' police service and in particular the work of the Royal Bahamas Police on the island of Bimini.

Use the link buttons along the upper left side of this page and all other pages to find more information.

The Royal Bahamas Police is the national police service of The Bahamas and is responsible for policing all of the country's islands and settlements. Police officers undertake an initial six month training period at the Bahamas Police College in Nassau or Freeport and upon graduation are awarded the rank of  "police constable". They are posted to stations throughout the country. There are 2,800 serving police officers in The Bahamas. They are assisted by over 1,000 police reserve officers who also work in every area of policing and by a large cadre of District Constables working in particular police programmes and initiatives.

The officers in Bimini form part of this highly respected national police service.
