19 Eastern Avenue, which was formerly One Technology Square and otherwise known as the Flow Building, will be the new home for the RCIPS in George Town as of April 9th.

Additional Units will also be stationed at the premises.

Built between 2002 and 2005, One Technology Square is a three storey, reinforced concrete building that was engineered to withstand 200 mph winds – the first of its kind in Cayman.

“All General services provided at the George Town Police Station, including walk-in reports and electronic monitoring check-ins, will be provided at this new location. The Community Policing, Scene of Crime, Major Events and Victim Care Units will also be opening from this location beginning on Monday, April 13th,” noted a press statement from the RCIPS.

Eastern Avenue and the surrounding Shedden Road area, including Scranton have been the scene of several high profile crimes in Grand Cayman over the years. However, the Police have not confirmed whether the move to the area was in response to any particular need or threat with respect to crime in the vicinity.

However, the Commissioner of Police Kurt Walton stated that the move would allow the RCIPS to more effectively deliver on its mission and vision of working with communities and for communities, to keep the Cayman Islands safe.

The Commissioner said, “The move marks a long overdue transition to a proper long-term location for the George Town Police Station,” and explained that, the new location has been fully retrofitted to meet the needs of the units that will be stationed there, and provides easier access and parking for members of the public who require RCIPS services.

In relation to access to the new facility, the police said members of the public should use the main front entrance facing Eastern Avenue.

Dedicated visitor parking is available in the front lot.

The public are asked to avoid parking in areas marked for Police vehicles only to ensure emergency response remains unhindered.

The new facility is equipped with ramp access at the primary entrance.
