Chief constable reveals rise in absences in annual report
The chief constable believes Island police officers now feel able to openly discuss mental health issues.
The Isle of Man Constabulary saw a small rise in officer absences during the 2018-19 period, as shown in Gary Roberts' annual report.
He revealed the trauma suffered by officers in the line of duty can lead to mental ill-health.
However, Chief Constable Roberts says a change in culture means it's now easier for officers to admit they need a break:
Island warned to expect heavy rain this afternoon
Jurby landowner working with planning and Bus Vannin on future shelter provision
'We wouldn’t have it any other way’
Ramsey Tesco to 'open as normal' following incident
