Police support workers in pubs and clubs

Figures to be issued shortly

The Isle of Man Police have come out in strong support of workers in pubs and clubs.

It follows the Licensed Victuallers Association statement about a spike in aggressive and abusive behaviour towards staff.

The Police will release figures on assaults in the coming days.

Chief Inspector Allan Thompson believes anyone assaulting bar staff should face a prison sentence.

And he says one of the causes has had plenty of publicity of late.
