The RCIPS is reminding all motorists to exercise heightened caution and eliminate distractions behind the wheel as children across the Cayman Islands have returned to school.

The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) is investigating an ongoing phishing scam involving fraudulent text messages claiming to be from RCIPS regarding overdue traffic fines.

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.

The Police are advising the public of a new wave of the ongoing Google Meet call scams involving suspects contacting the public and claiming to be members of local law enforcement, requesting personal and financial details, as well as 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.

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.
