(CNS): The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is hosting a Public Safety Careers Fair later this month, which is open to all but particularly focused on prospective recruits to its uniformed services or other public safety organisations. At the event the Cayman Islands Fire Service, the Cadet Corps, the Cayman Regiment, HM Prison Service, the Department of Public Safety Communications and the Department of Community Rehabilitation, which all fall under the ministry’s umbrella, will showcase their roles in keeping the Cayman Islands safe. 

There will also be representatives from the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service, the Cayman Islands Coast Guard, Customs and Border Control, Emergency Medical Services and other organisations that focus on delivering and supporting public safety within the community, a release from the ministry said.

While the fair is open for all, officials said they particularly wanted to attract young people to the event who wish to serve their country within the uniformed services or other public safety organisations.

“As we continue to grow exponentially as a nation, the need for a robust and capable public safety sector is also rapidly growing,” said Home Affairs Minister Sabrina Turner. “I would encourage our young people to consider the heroic field of public safety and the vast number of opportunities for growth within it.”

The fair will feature a number of activities along with live demonstrations and free giveaways.

It will take place at the Sir Vassel Johnson Hall on Friday, 22 September,
from 8:30am to 4:00pm.

    The multi-latateral Caymanian Demographic

    https://immigrantinvest.com/blog/taxes-antigua-and-barbuda-en/

    Our people and our government here in the Cayman Islands may learn something about the benifits of taxation from the Antigua and Barbuda Inland Revenue Finance Department, on Sales, Income, Property and Corporate Taxes…………..

    https://thenassauguardian.com/ag-global-tax-reform-becoming-more-intimidating-confusing/

    The average Caymanian earn anywhere between $20,000 to $50,000 a year, or $1,500 a month to $$4,000 a month working in various fields of construction, administrative, finance, legal or accounting roles

    What most Caymanians are unaware of, is that while the income bracket mentioned above, is no where close to the lawyers, accounts and investment bankers that earn anywhere from $400,000 to $700,000 a year, or $33,300 to $58,000 a month, is absurded, knowing that many Caymanians who have worked hard and want to achieve something in life and have a decent or comfortable retirement cannot break the glass ceiling

    I had a brief encounter at a local bar with a foriegn Corporate Attorney from one of the major law firms, who was full of homself with smiles and boasting about his $700,000 a year income, most of which is usually in cases like his, transfered to there country of origin.

    Our government and our country gets nothing out of significant amounts of money so many of these wealthy business excutives that hideout behind secured gated communities and do not mix with the locals and neighter do our locals get any opportunity to gain employment in these lucrative aristocratic organizations to earn anything close to what they earn in a year, or over our life time

    So why are our Caymanians so nieve and blind to the secrets and lies about who is really benefitting from our financial industry economic mircle

    https://www.comparably.com/salaries/salaries-for-accounting-analyst

    The annual salaries of Accounting Analysts in the US range anyehere from $13,690 to $363,352

    https://www.salary.com/research/salary/benchmark/top-mergers-and-acquisitions-executive-salary/new-york-ny

    The average top Mergers and Acquisitions Legal Executive salary in New York, range is $353,291 as of May 25, 2023, but the range typically falls between $302,380 and $437,716.

    So as our local legal industry continue to grow that is attracting medium and large international businesses facing bankruptcy, foreclosurer or closuer of bisinesses because of downsizing due to global economic financial strains like high unemployment due to automated services:

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nearly-40-of-americans-cant-cover-a-surprise-400-expense/

    Why aren’t our government thinking like the Bahamas and Antigua & Bermuda to introduce an Income and Corporate Tax and an Internal Revenue Tax Department that would generate government employment opportunities and generate much needed government revenue?

    https://immigrantinvest.com/blog/taxes-antigua-and-barbuda-en/

    Our people and our government may be able to learn something about the benifits of specific taxation from the Antigua and Barbuda Inland Revenue Tax Finance Department on Income, Property and Corporate Taxes…………..

    We do not or may not have to change or review our In-Direct Tax System of Customs and Border Control Duties on all Imported Goods, but a review and some consideration should be given to a Direct Tax on Income, Property and Corporate

    https://thenassauguardian.com/ag-global-tax-reform-becoming-more-intimidating-confusing/

    Lets face it, the truth is that the Cayman Islands has a population of approximately 70,000 people, most of which are of foriegn decent

    It would be very interesting for our government to openly provide a presentation breaking down our current population in real numbers indicating the following numbers, annual income and housing status:

    Caymanians Citizens
    Caribbean Islands by country like
    Jamaican Citizens
    Barbadian Citizens
    Trinidadian Citizens
    Latin America by country like
    Honduran Citizens
    Brazilian Citizens
    Argentina Citizens
    Filipano & Asian Citizens by country
    American Citizens
    British Citizens
    European Citizens by country

    And show the ratio of annual income and housing and residential status, such as how many of these foriegn people living on island rent or own there own home or undeveloped property and discuss with our people what there future plans are for home ownership in these islands for our local Caymanians

    Based on the Cayman Islands’ 2021 Census of Pupulation and Housing conducted from 10 October 2021 – 25 January 2022 found on google, we are home to 71,432 persons (50.6% males and 49.4% females) with approximately 38,047 Caymanians.

    https://www.gov.ky/ourislands#:~:text=Based%20on%20the%20Cayman%20Islands,females)%20with%20approximately%2038%2C047%20Caymanians.

    With very little effort and attention being made to make the lives of Caymanians better, more comfortable and accomodating

    https://www.weforum.org/press/2023/04/future-of-jobs-report-2023-up-to-a-quarter-of-jobs-expected-to-change-in-next-five-years/

    With the World Economic Forum predicting a major shift in traditional working careers by 2027 that will see businesses focus more on advertising and marketing automated services, forcing companies to downsize, lay off or make various position redundant

    Means that a new strategy needs to be explored to create well paying jobs for local Caymanians to find honest and gainful sustainable or long term employment, comfortably afford to purchase or build there own home or apartment and afford there own transpertation as the ban on cheaper imported cars restricts importing older cars; leaving us with no other option than to purchase a brand new vehicle most Caymanians currently cannot afford

    I wish that our policy makers would utilize similar economic strategies like the banning of importing older cars with the finance and banking industry interest rates, where our local retail and commercial banks charge 8% above the 7% Prime Interest Rate (a total of 15%) forcing our local people to pay an Interest Rate (3) three times higher than American, Canadian and British banking customers

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/business-40258449.amp

    Maybe the time have come for us Caymanians that live in the Fifth Leading Financial Center in the World to seriously consider pushing our Government to purchase the local Financial Clearings House and add 5,000 to 10,000 New and well paying Finance, Accounting and Admunistrative jobs to our economy

        You know that in other countries fire officers and paramedics and fire officers and military reservists are all the same person? They are cross trained, professional, and able to fulfill whatever role is required in the moment. Instead we import more and more people with less and less competence. It is disgusting.

    CNS: Check the bottom of the article. It’s very short. You can manage it.
