Commissioner wants ‘complete refresh’ of community policing
Lawmakers have approved a $74.3 million budget for police, coast guard and regimental services for the coming year, an increase of nearly $15 million compared to what was originally allocated for 2025.
The hike in funding for these agencies will be used to help bolster staffing levels, especially in the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service, where 45 new hires will be added, including 15 shift officers, 11 community policing officers, six traffic officers, and three constables on Cayman Brac. There will also be 10 new posts in the RCIPS’s financial crime investigation offices. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
