Operation Clyro to commence ahead of Easter Weekend

The RCIPS Traffic and Roads Policing Unit is launching its first phase of Operation Clyro for 2026, an initiative to reduce dangerous driving behaviours, particularly those which lead to the loss of life.


This initiative will last for two weeks, commencing across all three islands on Friday, 27 March, and continuing through the Easter Weekend, when increased traffic activity is expected, until Friday, 10 April.


The operation forms part of RCIPS' ongoing efforts to discourage poor driving behaviour by increasing enforcement in key areas of concern including speeding and driving under the influence.


"Operation Clyro is about saving lives", says Inspector Andrey Tahal, head of the Traffic and Roads Policing Unit. "Too many of our collisions are preventable and come down to poor decisions behind the wheel.


We will be actively stopping drivers and issuing tickets or making arrests where offences are identified."


The RCIPS reminds all road users that operating a vehicle in a manner that endangers others is a serious offence under the Traffic Act.


Motorists and other road users are encouraged to cooperate with the police to ensure the success of Operation Clyro, with a view to making the roads safer for all.


"As we move further into 2026, we remain committed to reducing dangerous driving behaviours," says Chief Superintendent Brad Ebanks. "We have seen far too many cases where actions such as driving under the influence or speeding, lead to the loss of lives on our roads. We continue to remind motorists to choose safe driving every time. In doing so, you keep yourself and fellow road users safe, while avoiding prosecution, fines, and potentially losing your licence."


Operation Clyro is part of the National Road Safety Strategy of "Safe Roads, Safe Cayman: The Road to Zero" and is supported by the National Roads Authority, Department of Vehicles & Drivers' Licensing and the Department of Communication.
