The first Manx Chief Constable will be sworn in this afternoon (Friday) in a ceremony at the Courts of Justice.
Gary Roberts will take over from Mike Langdon who stepped down from the role after five years leading the Isle of Man Constabulary.
Inspector Derek Flint, the force's Media Relations officer, says there are difficult economic times ahead for the Island's police.
Mr Flint outlines what Chief Constable Roberts is likely to be focusing on during his tenure:
Airline which services the Island announces further 700,000 seat cuts over winter
EasyJet scaling back on two days worth of flying to save on fuel for 'busier periods'
Man spared jail after £46,000 phone thefts
He told devices from his employer and sold them online
The Wing recommended for approval
The application seeks permission for an LED advertising board
Manx Radio's speech output falls below that required by licence agreement
CURA carries out monitoring review of public service broadcaster
