Chief constable cautious following annual report
The police's success shouldn't be based solely on the number of crimes reported to them.
The view of Chief Constable Gary Roberts, who's been speaking following the release of his latest annual report.
Almost 2,200 crimes were recorded between 1 April 2016 and 31 March 2017, the period the report covers.
That's an 11 per cent increase on the previous year.
The chief constable says the stats really don't tell the whole story:
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Move would 'formally recognise the area’s unique heritage, architectural character and natural environment'
Drop-in session to support Isle of Man charities
Meeting to provide information on planned updates to Island’s Countering the Financing of Terrorism framework
Fundraiser to keep St John Ambulance emergency fleet on the road
Adopt an ambulance scheme launched
Ayre and Michael MHKs request meeting with commissioners over rates
Areas see the biggest jump in rates Island-wide
