Head of Island's police calls for Constabulary and Government to work together
The Chief Constable of the Island's police wants to see more focus on helping young people at risk of offending on the Isle of Man.
Gary Roberts has been giving evidence to Tynwald's Constitutional and Legal Affairs and Justice Committee this afternoon.
Discussing his annual report, the Chief Constable confirmed he'd like to see his officers working with Government to identify those in need of support, rather than waiting until a person starts offending.
He says negative childhood experiences can have a lasting impact:
Motorcyclist flown to UK for treatment after Ballamodha crash
Surge in first time buyers enquiring about mortgages
Air ambulance involved in Ballaugh collision response
Braddan Commissioners petitioning DOI for £475,000 for housing maintenance
Mayor of Douglas charity appeal raises £3000 for local charities
Flat fire caused by discarded cigarette
