UK detectives sought to fill IoM police void

Seasoned detectives here filling sergeant roles

Police are recruiting UK detectives as Manx officers don't have the right experience.

That's according to Chief Inspector Phil Drowley - he says it's because seasoned detectives here are filling 'sergeant' level positions left vacant by retiring officers.

The Isle of Man Constabulary is rolling out a marketing campaign to encourage applications from 'suitably qualified' off-Island officers.

Once on board, they're expected to work across an array of disciplines; including public protection and financial crime investigations.

The deadline for applications is August 26.

Chief Inspector Drowley tells us what they're looking for.
