CNB suspect netted in Jam

The trouble is that if such persons enter the country illegally, e.g. by boat, the visa will do nothing to stop it. We need to better protect our borders.

Why do we keep doing this blaming foreignors thing? more than 85% of the prisoners in Northward are Caymanians. don't we get it? what good is this anti jamaican crap doing anybody when we know the truth is that the source of crimes mainly lies here among us?

That's dividing the loot too many ways!

Congrats for what?  No one has been found guilty yet.  The arrest is just a beginning.  What the RCIPS are really good at, is bungling evidence.  I will save my congratulations for when a conviction is made!

 

Closer Ties and Good Relations?? The R.C.I.P.S. is grateful to the Jamaican Police Service for their volunteered act of assistance, but what would Cayman reap or benefit by sewing any closer ties to Jamaica now, or in the future? To all interested in the true position of Jamaica, it's not rocket science I'm sure to Google statistics or to do proper research on the country's rich history, struggles, successes, levels of crime, and their present economic climate, global and Caymanian contributions in the areas of domestic, legal and educational fields. However, I for one Am somewhat interested in their history, though i have not felt the urgent need to study it until now.  I have noticed recently nearing the time of Jamaica's independence day, my George Town transforms into a mini Jamaica. Celebrations ignite island wide in strong evidence of Patriotism amongst Jamaicans in the Cayman community, and print media often reminds Caymanians, to never forget our reliance, nor despise our past connections with the island of Jamaica. Now Perhaps there exists a true social divide between Caymanians and Jamaican nationals, why the religious reminder of unity between both islands must be, but for whatever benefits there are to reap now and in future my question is just that. As a young individual who has always known of Jamaicans in my Caymanian community, I am asking for answers to educate myself of the debts of my fathers, and forefathers, of favors owed to the citizens of the Jamaican community. What further means must we do to remove any discrimination or stigma built through the years between us, and are we just socially an ignorant community stubborn to fact that there is a round world out there with nationals of other countries namely jamaicans who want to mix and mingle and eventually become Caymanian residents and citizens? And.. Why do the nationals of the country jamaica believe we passionately despise them? I still wonder and would love to know what my Country of Cayman can do to eliminate the bitterness between our nation and Jamaica.  Must we to permit your citizens into our Islands irrespective of legal background checks, qualifications or whatever? Are we to split from the United Kingdom and join Government forces with your island of Jamaica and be led by your Prime Minister? Are we to bail your island out of years of financial debts, manage your prisons and rely on you for all our food, and invite you to serve yourselves of all our possessions? Then again What benefits would we Caymanians reap, now and in future? No matter how much is preached by my fellow Jamaican nationals good and bad( as there is such in every nation, even in Cayman) the word should be spread the same to other countries who have too welcomed your Nationals and their contributions large and small, only to deport many due to inappropriate behavior! According to one article, Kingston Jamaica alone in 2011 had nearly 1,124 murders, in full 3,033 robberies, and 3,409 Break-Inns!!  Further reading this particular report you will find that Jamaica has earned the highest murder rates per capita in all the WORLD with most murders and violent crimes involving firearms. Now in Grand Cayman, the recent rash of robberies, burglaries, and disappearances and murders, closely simulate the styles of such crimes regularly occurring in Jamaica. Is this a direct benefit of close ties, or, our reason for social divide within our island nation towards Jamaican nationals? Why had the Jamaican Police force, and their Govt. care to assist in apprehending and returning this one particular national to our RCIPS,(be reminded we are not ungrateful) when not so long ago the USA had to pull teeth to get Dudus Coke' a well known and enabled Jamaican criminal from the grips of the Government AND the Jamaican people themselves? I'm not so ignorant nor eager to judge, nor do i feel so uneducated to make these requests, however I do hope to soon read a published report of Mr.Edwards successful extradition to Caymans shores and an honest answer of the list of debts owed to my fellow Jamaican Nationals by my own Caymanian folk!

Why not a few more fast patrol boats to sit on trailers at the airport too?

Dont you think that we do not have enough of them here already. I say train some of our own and pay them good wages.

No, No, we got too many now, we don't need no more! Considering we have the largest Police force per capita In the Caribbean!

I have always said that our local boys are influenced.
