Press Releases

Today, the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) officially released its 2025 Crime and Traffic Statistics Report. Members of the Senior Command Team held a press conference to discuss the key developments, emerging trends, and the impact of strategic initiatives on public safety over the past year.

As part of the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service’s ongoing efforts to improve road safety across the Sister Islands, officers from the Cayman Brac Police Station, in collaboration with the Traffic & Roads Policing Unit, conducted a targeted two-day enforcement operation on 17 and 18 April, in Cayman Brac.

The Police arrested a 49-year-old man of a Cayman Brac address in relation to a burglary that took place on Friday, 10 April.

Motorists are advised that the Esterley Tibbetts Highway is currently closed between the Jay Bodden Highway and the AL Thompson Roundabout, in the vicinity of the George Town Landfill.

The police are observing a concerning number of incidents of speeding and other traffic offences along major roadways in the Sister Islands, particularly in Cayman Brac.

The RCIPS Traffic and Roads Policing Unit is launching its first phase of Operation Clyro for 2026, an initiative to reduce dangerous driving behaviours, particularly those which lead to the loss of life.

Following further investigations, the Police can confirm that the text messages circulating regarding “dormant accounts” are legitimate communications sent by the financial institution to its members.

Subsequent to police investigations, one man has been arrested for deception offences related to immigration fraud, and another person has been identified and warned.

On Saturday, 28 February, police conducted a search operation at a residence in West Bay. During the search, wanted man Derrick Osney Bush was arrested and remains in custody pending further investigations.

It is with the deepest regret and heartfelt condolences to his family that the RCIPS announces the passing of Detective Inspector Collins Oremule.
