RCIPS & CBC Conduct Day of Action in Eastern Districts

On Sunday, 25 January, RCIPS Service Delivery Officers in the Eastern Districts, supported by the Firearm Response Unit, collaborated with the Cayman Islands Customs & Border Control (CBC) for a coordinated Day of Action aimed at disrupting criminal activity and enhancing public safety within the community.

Throughout the operation, multiple search warrants were executed across the Eastern Districts, resulting in the arrest of nine individuals for a range of offences. Seven persons were arrested for drug-related matters, including one juvenile found in possession of ganja and an imitation firearm. One individual was arrested in connection with traffic-related offences, and one person was arrested for overstaying.

The operation also included high-visibility patrols and vehicle checkpoints, designed to deter criminal behaviour, address community concerns, and reassure residents through an increased law enforcement presence.

“This day of action involved a series of targeted searches, along with strategic patrols and vehicle checkpoints, allowing us to focus on specific areas of concern within the Eastern Districts,” said Inspector Kevin Bogle, Area Commander for the Eastern Districts. “We value the strong working relationship we have with the CI Customs & Border Control, and operations like this demonstrate how effective we can be when we work together to protect our communities.”

Chief Inspector Dian Dyer-Alexander, emphasised the importance of continued public engagement and support: “We are grateful for the consistent support and cooperation of the public, which plays a vital role in the success of these operations. Visible policing and coordinated enforcement efforts are key to maintaining public confidence, and we encourage members of the community to continue sharing information and concerns with us.”

Superintendent Roje Williams added that similar operations will continue across the Cayman Islands. “The RCIPS will continue to conduct regular days of action across all districts and islands, led by our area commanders and in partnership with other law enforcement agencies. These proactive operations are an important part of our commitment to tackling criminality, anti-social behaviour, and issues that impact the quality of life for everyone in the Cayman Islands.”
