There's been a huge wave of interest in joining the Island’s police force as it carries out its fifth recruitment drive in three years.
A total of ten student officers will start their jobs in January next year, but 1,000 people downloaded information packs form the website or asked for packs by post.
A shortlist of 80 applicants will now be whittled down through an assessment process, before the final ten undergo on-Island training.
Superintendent Paul Cubbon says interest has come from all quarters:
MHK 'disappointed but not surprised' over secondary school delay
FoI statistics to be published quarterly to improve transparency
"Red flags" helped mum spot signs of son's brain tumour
Manx Radio wildflower meadow project enters fourth year
