The Office of the Ombudsman is seeking the public’s assistance in an independent investigation into a Sunday night collision between a Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) vehicle and a private vehicle.
The collision occurred at approximately 9:30pm Sunday, 03 May 2026 along Bodden Town Road near Monument Road.
The Ombudsman is appealing to members of the public who were there that night, or who may have witnessed the collision, to provide any video footage of 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 which shows the police vehicle involved. The Ombudsman would also like to speak with the driver of a third vehicle, believed to be a black Honda Fit, which was also involved. All information and material received will be kept confidential.
Public interest following the incident, including a RCIPS press release and media reports, provides the Ombudsman with the authority to review the conduct of police officers involved in the matter, independently of the RCIPS investigation. This is being conducted as an own-motion investigation under section 3(2)c of the Police (Complaints by the Public) Act.
