Cayman Islands Police Service Takes Aim at Financial Crime

The picturesque British Overseas Territory of the Cayman Islands may be known for its stunning beaches and thriving economy, but it’s not immune to the growing threat of financial crimes. To combat this issue, the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) has established several departments and units dedicated to tackling fraud and other financial malfeasance.

Financial Crime Investigation Unit (FCIU)

At the forefront of these efforts is the FCIU, located in the Royal Bank of Canada Building on Shedden Road. This central hub works closely with international partners and other law enforcement agencies to investigate complex cases involving financial irregularities, including:

  • Fraud
  • Money laundering
  • International credit card fraud

RCIPS Departments and Units

The RCIPS also has several departments and units dedicated to tackling financial crime:

  • Professional Standards Unit (PSU): responsible for maintaining high ethical standards among police officers and investigating allegations of misconduct.
  • Training and Development Unit: provides comprehensive training and resources to personnel tackling financial crime prevention and investigation.
  • Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (M.A.S.H.): supports victims of financial crimes and other vulnerable individuals.

Protective Services Unit

The RCIPS Protective Services unit, located in Crown Square Plaza, works closely with M.A.S.H. to provide care and support to victims, contributing to their recovery and successful prosecution of offenders.

Addressing Financial Crime: A Collective Effort

Addressing financial crime is a collective effort involving law enforcement agencies, government organizations, and the community. By being aware of these departments and units dedicated to combating financial crimes, residents and visitors can stay informed and contribute to a safer environment.
