Bahamas Philately: Bahamas Police Force

The Bahamian Constable is probably the most photographed individual in the Bahamas. His colourful uniform, strict military bearing and courteous manners, make him a favourite with shutterbugs both local and foreign.

One sees these constables directing traffic at busy intersections, giving tourists all types of information and standing sentry duty at Government House, home of Her Majesty the Queen’s representative, the Governor and Commander-in-Chief.”
