context_page_description: The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service is the standing police force of the British overseas territory of the Cayman Islands. The police force was formed in 1907 and currently stands at 343 enlisted officers, with 64 civilians.
  The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service serves all three of the Cayman Islands, namely, Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Demographically, in 2018, the estimated population of the Cayman Islands was about 68,076 representing a mix of more than 100 nationalities. The vast majority of people reside on Grand Cayman with Cayman Brac being the second most populated with about 2,000 residents, followed by Little Cayman with around 200 permanent residents.
  Against this backdrop the RCIPS deals with more than 22,000 calls for assistance every year, as well as proactively patrolling the streets 24-hours a day, seven days a week. It has a history of actively recruiting police officers from other nations with at least five years' experience.
context_section_description: For purposes of criminal investigation, neighbourhood policing, and crime prevention, the RCIPS is divided into four Districts:
  West Bay, with one police station at West Bay.
  George Town, with one police station at George Town (Elgin Avenue).
  Eastern District, with three police stations at East End, Bodden Town, and North Side.
  Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, with two police stations, one on each island.
  In addition to the Elgin Avenue police station in George Town, several other operational police bases exist in the town, including the national police headquarters in Shedden Road, the traffic policing unit in Lindhurst Avenue, and administrative offices on Walkers Road.
