🚔 Dozens of speeding tickets issued over National Heroes holiday weekend

The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) issued dozens of speeding tickets and other traffic citations over the National Heroes holiday weekend, from 19-23 January. The enforcement took place in the Eastern Districts of Grand Cayman and on Cayman Brac. This follows Operation Winter Guardian, the seasonal road safety campaign at the end of last year, and continues with Operation Borage. 🚨

Officers issued 53 speeding tickets on the two islands and another 43 tickets for other traffic offences. Road safety operations were also carried out in George Town and West Bay, with additional prosecutions for offences such as using a mobile phone while driving, driving without insurance, and DUI. The officers also focused on community engagement and inspections at locations known for anti-social activities. 🚔

Superintendent Richard Barrow emphasized that the purpose of these enforcement efforts is not only to prosecute and deter traffic offences but also to deter more serious crimes by restricting the movement of those who would commit them. The RCIPS continues its commitment to promoting road safety, especially during periods of increased road activity, in support of the National Road Safety Strategy, ‘Safe Roads, Safe Cayman: The Road to Zero’. 🚦
