On Monday, 16 June, 2026, members of the community gathered outside the Governor’s House, for the Cayman Islands King’s Birthday Parade and Inspection, a proud display of service, discipline, and national pride. 🇰🇾

The ceremony brought together uniformed services, Government leaders, and community members to honour service to the Cayman Islands. The event also featured the annual parade inspection conducted by Her Excellency Governor Jane Owen.

The Ministry of District Administration and Home Affairs was proud to witness the dedication, professionalism, and commitment displayed throughout the parade by the many individuals and organisations, especially the Cayman Islands Cadet Corps (CICC), Cayman Islands Fire Service (CIFS), and His Majesty’s Cayman Islands Prison Service (HMCIPS), that work each day to help keep our Islands safe, resilient, and strong.

Thank you to everyone who participated, attended, and supported this important national occasion.

☎️ HMCI continues to work with the Cayman Islands Cadet Corps to build emergency management capacity within the National Emergency Communications Centre (NEOC).

Last month we hosted a one-day WebEOC/NEOC workshop, with both theoretical and practical training for members of the Cadets who support the NEOC as call takers. The NEOC is an important channel for receiving and recording information from members of the public during an activation. Call takers may receive non-emergency reports, requests for assistance and other information that can help inform the overall emergency response.

The participants were introduced to the NEOC structure and trained on the web-based emergency operations software (WebEOC). The session concluded with a practical exercise in the actual NEOC Call Centre, where cadets handled simulated calls based on real experiences from previous emergency activations.

We look forward to continuing to help develop the knowledge, skills and experience needed to support effective emergency response and strengthen the resilience of the Cayman Islands with our partners.

This past week, we had the pleasure of celebrating the fathers of DPSC and recognizing the important role they play both within our department and at home. Following our Mother's Day celebrations earlier this year, it was another opportunity to pause, connect, and simply say thank you to the incredible people who help make this organization what it is.

I am especially grateful to our Wellness Team for once again going above and beyond to create a meaningful event for our staff. Their passion, thoughtfulness, and genuine care for the wellbeing of our people never goes unnoticed. Time and time again, they remind us that building a strong department starts with ensuring our staff feel valued, appreciated, and supported.

To all of our fathers, and to the mothers we celebrated earlier this year, thank you for your dedication, sacrifice, and commitment. Public safety is what we do, but our people are who we are, and I am incredibly proud of the culture we continue to build together at DPSC. 💙

Strong bodies. Strong minds. Strong future. 💪🏽🏃‍♀️

Our Cadets were proud to take part in the Deputy Governor’s 5K Challenge, standing alongside the Ministry of District Administration & Home Affairs and the wider Civil Service in promoting fitness, discipline, and teamwork.

From the first step to the finish line, our young leaders showed determination, resilience, and the true spirit of service.

Moments like these go beyond the run—they build character, unity, and the next generation of leaders for the Cayman Islands.

Great to be out there with the MDAHA team—looking forward to more opportunities to move and grow together 🤝

Our Ministry was honoured to stand with the nation at Monday’s ceremony, celebrating Caymanians whose courage, service, and vision continue to strengthen our islands. We add our congratulations to this year’s National Recognition Awards recipients and proudly acknowledge the designation of our newest National Hero, Benson O. Ebanks, OBE—a legacy of leadership that inspires the work we do every day.

Representing the Ministry of District Administration & Home Affairs, Hon. Nickolas DaCosta, JP, MP joined honourees, families, and partners to pay tribute to those who laid—and still lay—Cayman’s foundations. Chief Officer Michael Ebanks was also on the ground, ensuring the Ministry’s presence and support were felt throughout this memorable and honourable day.

For our portfolio—across public safety, national security, district administration, border control, offender management, postal services, youth development, and more—National Heroes Day is a reminder of why we serve: to protect our communities, to uplift our people, and to help build a safer, stronger Cayman across Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman.

To every award recipient and to all who support them behind the scenes: thank you. Your example challenges us to keep raising standards, deepening collaboration, and delivering world-class public service for these islands we love.

Honouring Remembrance Day Through Learning and Reflection 🌺

The Cayman Brac Heritage House had the pleasure of hosting the Cayman Brac Cadets recently for a special educational workshop ahead of this weekend’s Annual Remembrance Day Service.

During the visit, the group explored the stories of brave veterans who gave their lives during the World Wars and learned about the deep significance of Remembrance Day and the iconic red poppy flower — a lasting symbol of sacrifice and hope.

To make the experience even more engaging, the Cadets took part in a “Battleship” quiz challenge, testing their knowledge of military history and teamwork — with the lucky winners taking home prizes! 🎯🎁

We’re incredibly proud of the Cadets for their enthusiasm, respect, and dedication as they prepare to take part in this weekend’s service of remembrance.
