NASSAU, BAHAMAS – As we all know in The Bahamas, the holiday season means adding crawfish tails to your holiday menu, taking the kids to the carnival and attending the Royal Bahamas Police Force’s annual beat retreat.
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – As we all know in The Bahamas, the holiday season means adding crawfish tails to your holiday menu, taking the kids to the carnival and attending the Royal Bahamas Police Force’s annual beat retreat.
On Sunday the RBPF held the event under the theme Christmas past present and future.
Our Denielle Miller was there and tells us how this year’s theme gave the best depiction of the event’s legacy.
Flying drum sticks, precision movement and the grinch, all taking center stage at the Royal Bahamas Police Force’s band beat retreat.
This year’s theme, highlighting Charles Dickens’ famed novel, “A Christmas Carol”, evoking the essence and spirit of the annual event.
For decades, hundreds of bahamians and visitors attend, creating memories with their families or reliving Christmas moments like Shirley Bonamy, widow to former police commissioner Bernard Bonamy.
She says that when her husband was alive, she rarely missed a beat retreat and it’s a tradition she continues.
Police Constable Ryan Pratt is a part of the RBPF band.
He told me that as a child, he watched his grandfather and father perform during the event and recently the Pratt men created family history at the annual event.
Hoping to write a similar chapter in his story book one day was Edward Rolle, son of sergeant Brian Saunders.
Rolle says as he watched his dad perform, he eagerly added this wish to his Christmas list.
