Talks are also underway with The Bahamas’ Ministers of Education, and Youth, Sports & Culture. The event will be hosted by Grand Lucayan Resort.

In a similar vein to the World Police & Fire Games, recently held in New York City, the Bahamas Law Enforcement Games will encompass a wide variety of sporting events that will test the physical & mental athletic skills of the competitors. Sporting events will include – among others – basketball, soccer, football, boxing, softball, and open-water swimming. Awards for various competitions will be named in honor of local legends in the respective field. Proposed honorees include Gladstone ‘Moon’ McPhee’ for his contributions to basketball, and Jimmy Lee for his contributions to softball.
