RCIPS discuss Operation Winter Guardian 2023.

As Christmas Day approaches, the RCIPS will maintain its road enforcement operations, increased community foot patrols and high visibility mobile patrols across the islands as part of the RCIPS’ annual holiday safety operation.

Shortly after 3:00PM on Friday 10 November, the 9-1-1 Communications Centre dispatched emergency services to a report of a person in distress on a vessel in the vicinity of Rum Point, North Side.

The Office of the Commissioner of Police (OCP) is again pleased this summer to welcome, under the leadership of Samantha Tate Thompson, Human Resources Officer, a group of interns. This annual opportunity allows the interns to gain work experience and awareness of the RCIPS and the CICG operations.

North Side man has been formally charged with Arson in relation to North Side Police Station fire.

RCIPS warn against assaulting police officers in the execution of their duties.

Today, Friday 14 April, the RCIPS released its 2022 Crime and Traffic Statistics Report, and members of the Senior Command Team held a press conference to discuss the main developments and trends described in the statistics with the media.

Over this past weekend, 7-10 April, the RCIPS conducted its yearly Easter operations across the island. During this time there were no major incidents of violent crime and no major traffic collisions. There were also no reports of trespass or theft related to persons camping over the weekend.
