Historical discrepencies

1. This article and the RBDF information on which it was based says the Force was established by in 1840 but it's not clear what the source is for this information. The Colonial Office Annual Reports maintain that the Force was established by an Act of Parliament in 1864.

2. It is often said that Salathial Thompson was the first Bahamian Commissioner of Police but it appears that Edward Dewitt Sears was the first Bahamian Commissioner of Police in 1954-1955.
