Home Affairs Employee Spotlight
We're thrilled to spotlight Prison Officer Dennis Oli, who received the May Chief Officer's Choice award 2024 and the May CIG Employee of the Month award 2024. Officer Oli attended the CIG employee of the year 2024 event, where he was recognized for service.
Last year, Officer Oli saved the lives of many inmates and fellow officers through his rapid and decisive actions that led him to heroically charge into a burning building filled with smoke to ensure lives were not lost. His contributions have highlighted the commitment and dedication of all of our amazing prison officers and represent the core values of His Majesty's Cayman Islands Prison Service.
