The Air Operations Unit (AOU) and the Joint Marine Unit (JMU) deployed air and marine assets out of Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac to conduct anti-smuggling exercises in waters off the Sister Islands and Grand Cayman last week on 18-19 September. Uniform police from Cayman Brac provided support to these exercises from land.

The exercises covered all waters between Grand Cayman and the Sister Islands, and extended to 60 miles off the Sister Islands towards Jamaica. An undisclosed quantity of ganja was recovered.

Insp. Wendy Parchment, Area Commander for the Sister Islands, welcomed the comprehensive exercises, which she described as “very reassuring, because they demonstrate that we in the Sister Islands can look forward to robust support and response when smuggling activity is suspected or reported.’

Assets deployed included the police helicopter, JMU vessels Niven D and Defender, and the Custom Service’s Cayman Brac vessel Defender II, as well as personnel from the Drugs and Serious Crimes Task Force.
