What are the Police like in the Cayman Islands. Anyone had any good/bad experiences.

I have not been to Grand Cayman in the past few years and when I was there I had no problems. I don't know of any misgivings by the police in the Caymans. Being under the British umbrella I would assume they have a good law enforcement system...though like anywhere I am sure some are corrupt.

Actually in all of the places in the Caribbean I have visited I have found police officers to always be nice and helpful when I have had contact with them. That being said I have never broken any laws in the islands...or at least I have not gotten caught - hee he.

If anyone else knows of of any good/bad experiences...

thanks for that. sounds about right. do you know what the demand is for police dog handlers. jedderz

The seven four-legged members of the Royal Cayman Islands Police (RCIP) K-9 unit are used on a 24-hour basis and cover the same beats as any other police unit.

Currently, the RCIP have four German Shepherds, and three English Springer Spaniels, with both breeds possessing unique qualities that make them perfect for their specific jobs.

Allegations called `load of nonsense'


DALE BRAZAO AND JOHN DUNCANSON
STAFF REPORTERS

A former Toronto police officer now working in the Cayman Islands says he is being made a scapegoat for the sex scandal at city hall.

Reached at his home, Richard Hanna told the Toronto Star that allegations he interfered with a city licensing inspector investigating an auto body shop scam in Scarborough last fall are "a complete load of nonsense.

"This doesn't surprise me," Hanna said, when told the allegations against him had come from police, legal and city sources. "They're trying to throw a police officer under a bus to take the focus off the sex scandal at city hall.

"I see this as a very serious slander against me."

Hanna, who recently began his new job as a police officer in the Caymans after resigning from the Toronto Police Service on July 13, said he was "appalled" a city licensing inspector would suggest he was "corrupt."
