RCIPS opens nominations for top ‘amateur’ cops
(CNS): The RCIPS has begun preparations for this year’s Outstanding Service Awards and Police Commissioner David Baines is calling on people across the Cayman Islands to nominate their community heroes. The award is for anyone who has played an important role in keeping their neighbours, their communities and the Cayman Islands safe. The award will be presented at the third annual RCIPS Outstanding Service Awards event at the Ritz-Carlton on Friday, 8 March. “This is your chance to recognise the people who go that extra mile to keep the Cayman Islands safe,” said Commissioner Baines. “Those everyday heroes who don’t look for any thanks or recognition.”
The nominations are now being accepted for people or organisations that have made an outstanding contribution to community safety. The nomination form is available on the forms page of the RCIPS website and from all district police stations. The closing date for submission is Friday 8 February 2013. Forms should be submitted to district police stations or to the RCIPS HQ in George Town by 5.00pm on that date. They can also be e-mailed to nominations@rcips.ky.
“The winner may be someone who has been instrumental in helping the police bring offenders to justice, or someone who gives up their free time to work with young people in the community to provide them with positive choices,” Baines explained. “The quality and the number of nominations in previous years has been outstanding. I’m sure that this year, once again, we will hear some greatstories about the many unsung heroes in our midst who deserve to be recognised for their selfless contributions.”
There will be a number of other awards presented on the night, including Police Officer of the Year, Support Staff Member of the Year, Diversity Award, Police Welfare Award and Special Constable of the Year.
The event will be completely underwritten by sponsorship and proceeds from the night will benefit the RCIPS Welfare Fund.

Who ever gets the guy who broke into my place and all the others around the area will have my vote!!!!!!
But so far nothing, even after I found out who did it 😉
Great job RCIP
Isn't that ALL of them?
From the headline above…YES
I would like to publicly say that One Lazzarus I dont know if his name is spelt correctly but thats how it is pronounced , deserves an award. He is a very intelligent and observant cop. He is very known and respected through the Bodden Town District and awahilst you have fear of him he comes in like your family. Also there used to be a tall English Police in Bodden Town who not only walked through the Bodden Town Street looking like a Cop but the acted like one. Dont know his name nor which District he is at now but is missed in Bodden Town. A very respectful cop.
