Career of 'voice of force' draws to a close
A long-serving police officer is set to depart the Isle of Man Constabulary for the final time today.
A double-hip replacement means Inspector Derek Flint's 27-year career as a public servant will officially come to an end at the close of play this evening when he retires.
He's been on the Island since 1998 - carrying out the media and liaison role for the past decade.
Inspector Flint says his departure - just before the start of TT - wasn't planned:

It happened at NCAS at Balladoole
Drug-driver jailed after passenger injured in crash
