Press Releases

Following the release of the 2019 Crime and Traffic Statistics report, the RCIPS has released a Summary Interim Crime Report reviewing the impact of COVID-19 on crime in the Cayman Islands.

The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) today (Friday, 22 May) confirmed that two uniformed officers have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. 

This report from GIS details the curfew changes and another information announced at the Government Press Briefing on Friday, 15 May.

Police have recovered a number of electrical tools during a search earlier this month that are believed to be stolen properties. Pictures of these items have been provided in this press release and members of the public are invited to view these items and attempt to identify them if you have been victims of theft related crimes.

Just before 5PM on Sunday 26 April, officers were on patrol in the area of Sound Way, George Town, when they observed a male and female apparently in breach of the hard curfew. The officers stopped and spoke with them, and whilst doing so, smelt a strong sent of ganja.

Just before 3:25AM on Friday, 17 April, police stopped a man traveling on a bicycle along Oakdale Close in George Town, during the hard curfew. While the officers were speaking with the man, he ran away from them and a foot chase ensued.

Extensions to hard and soft curfews were announced at the COVID-19 press conference on Thursday, 16 April 2020.

All beaches, including the coastline, will remain closed from 12.01AM tomorrow to 5:00AM Tuesday, 14 April. There is to be no swimming, snorkeling, fishing, exercising or any activity on the beach or along the coastline during these times. (GIS)
