Press Releases

Police are investigating reports of a scam that involves individuals posing as used-car dealers.

Her Excellency the Governor has announced the appointment of Mr. Robert Atkin MBE as the new Deputy Commissioner of Police of the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS). Mr. Brad Ebanks has been appointed as Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police. Both officers took up their new positions on 1 August.

Shortly before 11:30AM on Monday, 27 July, police and other emergency services responded to a two-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle and a Honda Stream on Creek Road in Cayman Brac.

The Police are investigating an ongoing SMS phishing scam involving suspects purporting to be from several public and private institutions, as well a new wave of the Post Office Parcel SMS Scam.

The RCIPS has noted an increase in reports of the suspected phishing scam involving suspects making video calls and claiming to be law enforcement.

The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service, over the last month, highlighted its ongoing commitment to continuous learning and professional development through the completion of an intensive Critical Incident Command Training programme for its officers. 

Today, 17 July, officers located and arrested wanted man Andy Myles, age 39. He remains in police custody.

The RCIPS and Cayman Islands Government are urgently warning the public of text message scam which is circulating locally.

Two men were arrested in Cayman Brac on drug offenses, following a search which resulted in the recovery of suspected cocaine, ganja, and drug paraphernalia.

I have spent the past two days contemplating whether to respond to the article in a local media house captioned: ‘235 cop complaints made but no officers fired’.  As Commissioner I truly appreciate the public interest in this topic, but wish to provide clarity on what is missing from the initial reporting.
