(CNS): Police on Cayman Brac and Little Cayman have increased patrols and conducted targeted traffic enforcement initiatives this month in response to concerns raised by residents during recent community meetings held by Police Commissioner Kurt Walton. District Commander for the Sister Islands, Inspector Leslie Laing-Hall, said that traffic enforcement checks will continue on the Sister Islands until further notice as the police work to improve road safety across both communities.
Starting 1 June, patrols were stepped up in specific areas of concern on the islands, especially in and around school zones. Since the beginning of the month, police have issued 15 traffic tickets on the Sister Islands. Six of these were for speeding offences, and nine for other traffic offences, including failing to wear a seatbelt, illegal window tint, and operating an unlicensed vehicle on a public roadway.
In addition, one man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, and another man was arrested for driving without a valid driver’s licence. A third man was issued a warning of intended prosecution for a traffic-related offence.
“We remain committed to listening to the concerns of the public and taking appropriate action to address them,” Inspector Laing-Hall said.
Motorists across all three Cayman Islands are reminded to drive with due care and attention, obey speed limits, and exercise caution in and around school zones. The RCIPS will continue to conduct road safety initiatives across the Cayman Islands as part of its commitment to making the Cayman Islands safer, the release said.
