What We Do

The Department of Public Safety Communications operates the CI Public Safety Communications Centre (PSCC) to provide 24/7/365 emergency and non-emergency call handling, emergency dispatch services, life-saving pre-arrival instructions, First Responder coordination and safety.

The PSCC is also the nation’s Tsunami Warning Focal Point responsible for the immediate dissemination of warnings received from the regional Tsunami Warning Centre in concert with Hazard Management Cayman Islands.

Additionally, the DPSC oversees the Electronic Monitoring Centre (EMC), maintaining two separate programs, the first is the electronic monitoring of offenders who have been referred by the Judicial Administration, the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service, Customs and Border Control, or His Majesty’s Prison Service.

The second programme of the EMC is the monitoring and operation of CCTV cameras as part of the National CCTV Programme. A CCTV Code of Practice approved by Cabinet provides regulations under which EMC personnel and other authorized users (primarily RCIPS) may utilize CCTV cameras to gather evidence and deter crime whilst at the same time upholding human rights.

The DPSC is also responsible for the National Public Safety Radio Communications System used by the island’s public safety sector, offering RF communications system maintenance, emergency telecommunications management, seismic monitoring and incident management.

The DPSC supports a broad range of internal customers, ensuring seamless communication and coordination among various public safety and government entities.
