The Isle of Man's new Deputy Chief Constable says his force has to reflect the community it's policing.
Superintendent Gary Roberts will take up his new position on January 1.
He joined the police in 1984 and says he has seen many changes since then.

Steam Packet urged to be more 'transparent' over Manxman issues
Nature of work keeping boat in dry dock goes unexplained
Government needs to 'break the cycle' of child poverty on Island
Committee report accepted by Tynwald in court's final sitting
Proportion on waiting lists likely higher than England
Manx Care aiming for 95% of patients to be seen within a year
Sixth candidate declares for Glenfaba and Peel
Peel Commissioner and former MHK to contest election
