Ask your self a
question ... if George Jackson was liked and respected as Deputy
Commissioner of Police on the islands of Bermuda, would
www.bermudapolice.com have been
notified of his whereabouts and activities? |
|
|
questions we would like answered ... |
www.bermudapolice.com received
information that George Jackson was in the UK interviewing potential new
recruits. It would appear that whilst George, the former head of the
island's narcotics department and now the second highest ranking officer on
the island, is in the UK his son,
Andrew Jackson recently linked to the
possession of narcotics remains in Bermuda. |
George, when did you first know of your
son's association with narcotics? |
20th Jan 2003: Andrew Jackson, the son of Deputy Police Commissioner George
Jackson – is being punished for cannabis possession, The Royal Gazette has
learned.

caught up with George on January 27th in England where he is
undertaking interviews of potential recruits, returning to Bermuda Thursday 30th January.
The interviews are being conducted where George is
staying: |
George, what will you do if you son does
not disclose the supplier of the drugs? |

George, what are you going to do about your
son's involvement with drugs on your return to ensure a good example is set? |
|
|
The initial contact
with George met with a reasonable response, the request by
www.bermudapolice.com for information was answered: |
George, why is the matter to be the
subject of a regimental enquiry only? |
|
|
If you
wish to speak to me face to face you can do so |
|
George, what will you do to ensure your son
does not associate himself with narcotics in the future? |
|
|
however, when asked
when would be convenient, George responded 'not today' and asked that
we call tomorrow. However, when seeking a convenient time for us to
call, the question appeared to to difficult, George hung up. |
|
|
Another call was made
to George, to ascertain when would be convenient to meet with him. On
this occasion the call was taken by a woman understood to be Miss Rogers, of
the Human Resources department Bermuda. Unfortunately, although also engaged
in interviewing, she did not know when George would come free. Despite
asking when would be a good time to call back, we could only obtain a
'couldn’t tell you, probably late this afternoon'. |
|
|
We attempted to be helpful, seeking a suitable time to speak. George
then continued the conversation and it became evident that despite the lapse
of 12 years he had not changed; the same old blunt bully who has trouble
thinking on his feet. We were not spoken to, we were spoken at, George
obviously believes his word is the law and has trouble thinking before he
speaks. the response was as follows: |
|
|
He wished to tell
the caller two things:
1. firstly and most importantly he did not appreciate being disturbed
2. secondly, if the caller had anything to ask, we should go through a
solicitorHe then added (a third thing - George
having difficulty counting beyond two?): |
|
|
|
|
"do not call
me back or else I’ll have a complaint lodged against you" |
|
|
|
George, make your
complaint. Do you really believe that anyone is interested
in your own self-importance? We are waiting to be contacted following
your complaint George; we remind you that we have called back;
twice! We are calling your bluff George, in fact we are doing more; we
demonstrating your childishness, your stupidity. |
|
|
Is it that you were
just shooting your mouth off; the George no-action Jackson of old whose best
or only defence is to threaten? George, you are supposed to be a
policeman of some experience. Just what complaint are you going to
make - do you have any idea about the law or are you just playing at being a
policeman? |
|
|
As for a solicitor,
kindly think before you speak George. There is no requirement for me
to use a solicitor. I am entitled to ask you questions. I
suspect this is a case of you saying something to impress your peers or
because, to you, it sounds clever. It is not clever, nor are you>
As evidenced by that comment, you are a fool, the court jester of the
Bermuda police circle. George, if you do not wish to speak, or are
unable to do so, then you of course may appoint a solicitor to handle the
issues on your behalf. We are more than competent and capable of
asking questions; we do not need others to speak on our behalf. It was
a silly comment George. |
|
|
I would not be subjected to your
blinkered, loud attempts at intimidation whilst I served in the Bermuda
police service, do you think that I now have the least respect for you,
believe you know what you are taking about or will be influenced by you?
Grow up George, you are not in Bermuda now - you cannot rely on your
oppressive conduct here. |
|
|
George, you are the
one who suggested a meeting; you are being telephoned, following you own
comment, to arrange the meeting. It appears you have a big, fast mouth
and that you put your foot squarely in it. You have offered a meeting;
on reflection have you realised that it is not wise, that you are not bright
enough to survive a face to face interview so you choose to duck it? |
|
|
As for your
entourage; Miss Rogers did her best to fend off a telephone call and
it was sweet of you to step in and come to her aid. I trust you will be
adequately thanked for such gallantry. |

appears to be an unnecessary expense; he is not involved in the interviews
but is accompanying you for administration purposes. Why?
