Bureacracy to be reduced - chief constable
The Isle of Man Constabulary believes a £1.5 million technology update will slash red tape across the force.
A contract has been awarded to Northgate Public Services to install a new policing platform called 'CONNECT', which is aimed at streamlining outdated IT police services.
Chief Constable Gary Roberts says it will substantially reduce bureaucracy, meaning more officers on the streets.
He explained why the update was essential:
Met Office issues coastal overtopping warning
Next two high tides expected to impact coastal areas
Questions raised about airport's safety and workplace culture
Government defends facility amid claims of cultural and operational issues
Garff Commissioners introduces street light scheme to be more 'proactive'
Local Authority says replacements can cost up to £800
Douglas Council purchases seven EVs for 'fleet renewal' programme
The local authority says these are replacing 'ageing' diesel vehicles
