Volunteer to do 124 duties over the fortnight
Volunteer police officers have been thanked for giving up their time over the TT fortnight.
The Isle of Man Constabulary says special constables have volunteered for 124 duties over the period.
These cover things like response, night time economy patrols and special events.
Three men working in the Roads Policing Unit are providing 38 twelve-hour shifts - they have 40 years of service between them.
The constabulary says the TT is a ‘huge event’ to police for a small force and it’s ‘amazing’ that the special constables give up their time to contribute to it.
It’s #NationalVolunteersWeek this week and here we have our 3 Roads Policing Special Constables with over 40 years of service between them who are providing 38 x 12 hour shifts during the #TT2023 festival helping police the islands roads independently. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/Qu636c0N4H
