Range and street exercises for officers
Manx police are undertaking firearms training in public spots on Island this week.
The Isle of Man Constabulary insists it's just 'routine training', but adds it is a welcome provision in light of recent terror attacks in the UK.
Officers are training at specially-prepared ranges, and on the streets.
Inspector Gavin Callow says it's aimed at bringing their skills in line with UK counterparts:
Farmers in race against time after freight backlog in Heysham
Concern for crops and animals after delays to feed and fertiliser deliveries
Further changes to sailing schedule due to tidal restrictions
Manxman crossings affected over next three days
Census 'still one of the most valuable statistical tools' for government
Cabinet Office minister says technical can't count the population as well as the survey
'Immigration is needed' for economic growth on Island
MLC says a shortage of workers is creating challenges for Manx businesses
