Thirteen Caymanians Commence CBC Recruit Training Programme

The Cayman Islands Customs and Border Control Service (CBC) officially welcomed a new cohort of thirteen (13) recruits as they commenced their recruit training programme on Monday, 2 March 2026.
The recruits have embarked on a comprehensive training course designed to equip them with the knowledge, skills, and professional standards required to safeguard the borders of the Cayman Islands. Over the coming months, they will undergo rigorous instruction in border security operations, customs enforcement, immigration procedures, law enforcement fundamentals, ethics, and customer service.
This structured training programme reflects CBC’s continued commitment to strengthening national security, protecting our borders, and delivering high-quality service to the public. In addition to classroom-based learning, recruits will participate in physical fitness training, scenario-based exercises, and practical field experience to ensure they are fully operationally ready upon graduation.
Persons in attendance at the opening ceremony included Minister for District Administration and Home Affairs, Hon. Nickolas DaCosta, JP, MP, Chief Officer Michael Ebanks; Deputy Chief Officer Debbie-Ann Whittaker; Acting Director of CBC Marlon Bodden; and other senior representatives from the Ministry and CBC.
Welcoming the new class, Acting Director of CBC, Marlon Bodden, said, “Today marks the beginning of an important journey for these recruits. Their decision to serve represents a commitment to protecting our islands and upholding the laws that keep our communities safe. We are proud to support them through this training and look forward to seeing them grow into professional officers who embody the values of integrity, accountability, and service.”
