Cops enter cyber space

(CNS): The police have launched a new website offering residents in the Cayman Islands and around the world will access to information about the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) at the click of a mouse. www.rcips.ky  offers news, general information about units, departments and the organisation as a whole, crime statistics, forms for making a complaint thanking the RCIPS or applying for a firearms license.

“This is a real achievement for the RCIPS,” said Acting Commissioner of Police, James Smith. “Visitors to the site may still find some pages under construction as we continue to make changes, amendments and improvements but I hope that people find the information already contained on the site useful. The website will continue to develop and grow and it is anticipated that it will get more and more sophisticated as time goes on.”

He explained that there were even plans to allow people to report minor crime online as well. 

if anyone has any suggestions or government agencies or other organisations would like to have their link placed on the RCIPS website, please contact Deborah Denis at deborah.denis@gov.ky. Anyone with information about crime taking place in the Cayman Islands should contact their local police station or Crime Stoppers on 800-8477 (TIPS). All persons calling crime stoppers remain anonymous, and are eligible for a reward of up to $1000, should their information lead to an arrest or recovery of property/drugs.
