Eight of Cayman’s police officers have been sent to Anguilla to offer law enforcement support as gang tensions and violence increase.
Six firearm officers and an inspector — who is also a tactical firearms commander — will be in Anguilla for about a month.
A drone operator is also part of the contingent.
The RCIPS says the deployment to the sister British Overseas Territory is being funded and supported by the United Kingdom.

Police chief ‘confident’ Ed Bush Stadium shooter is in prison
Commissioner of Police Kurt Walton says he is confident that, although no one had been charged in relation to last year’s mass shooting at the Ed Bush Stadium, that the person or persons responsible were behind bars for other firearm-related offences.
Speaking at a press briefing on crime and traffic statistics on Wednesday, the commissioner confirmed that, although arrests had initially been made in relation to the shooting in which seven people were injured, no charges had been brought.
However, he said anti-gang and anti-firearm operations carried out by police in the aftermath of the shooting had led to the culprits being caught for other offences.
