Safety, security and staffing issues flagged at police detention centre
The police detention centre has a fire alarm system that hasn’t worked for years, doors that are left ajar – leading to an escape attempt – and is regularly understaffed, the Office of the Ombudsman has found.
Suspects who are arrested by police or other law enforcement agencies are held temporarily at the Cayman Islands Detention Centre, which is operated by the police service, until they are released, bailed or transferred to another facility.
The Office of the Ombudsman launched its ‘own-motion investigation’ into the facility following complaints it had received about safety issues and drug use at the centre.
