Constabulary faces rise in costs as a result
The Isle of Man Constabulary is facing a 12.5 per cent rise in costs to access intellectual material from the College of Policing.
Chief Constable Gary Roberts says the increase will hit smaller police forces who are dealing with already-stretched budgets.
The change is coming about due to the training of officers gaining professional body status.
Mr Roberts says the Island will have to fall in step with the UK to avoid discrepancies if the policing process is challenged.
But he says the appropriate bodies are aware of the situation:
CoMin making 'significant and determined efforts' to implement recommendations from Ranson review
Rain events 'difficult to forecast' on the Isle of Man
Planning permission granted for 26 industrial units
Port St Mary Commissioners urging residents not to 'struggle in silence'
