Meanwhile, in a separate incident two men were arrested on suspicion of possessing fake firearms.
The men in East end reported that they had been stopped by a vehicle that had pulled in front of them and were then approached by a man who identified himself as police officer. After investigations carried out by Bodden Town Police officers, a 44-year-old man was arrested.

I have no problem with fake cops – the more the merrier, so long as they are deterring crime.
We don’t need anyone from the Islands, what we need is like what Mr. Bean said x cops from the US, Marine, etc.
RCIP needs proper training… imagine what they would do if these bad-boys wan-be decides to go against’ the RCIP
It’s also well known that there are several RCIP pretending to be cops!
What will happen next Cayman? Someone impersonating a "cop".
We, the people of the Cayman Islands have to take our country back!!
These people are sick, need to get a job and have too much free time on their hands.
I would like to make a suggestion, and that is that we recruit more trained Cops from Barbados. Somehow they just seemed years ago when we used to recruit them, to get their jobs done. Also they earned the respect of the Public , including the criminals. Just my thoughts along withn the many others, and no conflict of interest either.
Present day Barbadian recruits to the RCIPS are no different than those from anywhere else, with the exception that they all like to play cricket.
Oct 31 = Halloween. Coincidence?
All work and no play makes Jack a dull Boy. As long as you dont play on our time. I still suggest that we need more Bajan Cops,and our own Cayman Boys.
20:26 I think that is a good idea, so long when ever the shoulder stripes are being handed out, our Caymanians are considered too. Like, you know how the saying goes "One fe me, one fe you, one fe me, one fe you."
