Chief Constable optimistic after period of change
A lack of funding to tackle youth offending restricted the Isle of Man Constabulary's ability to deal with the issue over the last year.
That's according to Chief Constable Gary Roberts following the publication of his annual report.
During the 2018-19 period, the Youth Justice Team underwent significant change, becoming the Police Early Action Team.
One person was referred to the service 28 times, and Chief Constable Roberts admits there was a risk of people slipping through the net due to a lack of resources:
More than 3,000 jobs added to economy since September 2021
Review of income thresholds for public sector housing
Firearms officers deployed to incident near Laxey
A step into the modern era for social security
Attempted burglary in Ramsey sparks appeal
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
