The Isle of Man's new Deputy Chief Constable says his force has to reflect the community it's policing.

He joined the police in 1984 and says he has seen many changes since then.

People can surrender weapons without fear of prosecution
Chickenpox jab to become part of routine childhood vaccinations
GP practices to offer children a combined MMRV vaccine
