Ombudsman seeks public assistance in investigation

The Office of the Ombudsman is seeking the public’s assistance in an independent investigation into an early morning collision between a Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) vehicle and a motorcycle carrying two men.

The collision occurred at approximately 2 a.m. Saturday, 13 September 2025 along Bodden Town Road.

The Ombudsman is appealing to members of the public who were at the scene that morning to provide any video footage of the police action at the scene or the vehicles that were driving in the area at the time of the collision.

Of particular interest is any dashcam video footage recorded in the area at the time immediately before the collision occurred.  All information and material received will be kept confidential.

Injuries sustained by both motorcycle riders are defined as “serious harm” in the Police (Complaints by the Public) Act and the fact that the injuries occurred following the collision with the RCIPS vehicle provides the Ombudsman with the authority to review the conduct of police officers involved in the matter, independently of the RCIPS investigation.

If you have any information, please contact Deputy Ombudsman Alan Slater via email at alan.slater@ombudsman.ky or Assistant Ombudsman Shamique Frederick via email at Shamique.frederick@ombudsman.ky. You may also contact them via phone at 946-6283.
