The police are not ring-fenced from public sector cuts.
That's according to the Minister for Home Affairs, Juan Watterson, who says new Chief Constable Gary Roberts faces some challenging times ahead.
The Minister is confident the new Chief Constable will rise to the challenge.
Mr Watterson says police job cuts can't be ruled out in the coming years:
Mountain Road closure extended for additional 24-hours
The Department of Infrastructure is completing carriageway repairs
Manx Care issues service update ahead of TT
It's the 'busiest time of the year for our health and care services'
Weekend road closures in place for Pre-TT Races at Billown
Racing set to continue in the south of the Isle of Man
Feedback sought on health and safety laws
Regulations have not been reviewed or amended in over 20 years
