Residents urged to meet police to discuss community concerns

Four 'roadshows' taking place in November

Police are inviting Manx residents to have their say on the issues and problems affecting their local areas.

Four ‘roadshows’ – where the public can have an ‘open conversation’ with officers - will take place in November.

Crimestoppers and the Department of Home Affairs will also attend the events which will provide details about upcoming consultation on the policing plan for 2024-2025.

The sessions are being held as follows:

  • West: Thursday, 9 November: QEII High School, 6pm – 8pm
  • South: Monday, 20 November: Castle Rushen High School, 6pm – 8pm
  • North: Thursday, 23 November: Ramsey Grammar School, 6pm – 8pm
  • East: Wednesday, 29 November: Sight Matters (Onchan), 6pm – 8pm

Chief Constable Russ Foster said: “These roadshows are a valuable opportunity to come together to discuss any criminality or anti-social behaviour that’s affecting our communities.

“We’re committed to ensuring that the public feels safe and that we’re doing everything possible to tackle criminality.

“These roadshows won’t just be an engagement exercise, we’ll be using the conversations and concerns to shape the way we police, and how communities see officers working.

“I appreciate some people might be worried about sharing things with us directly, but there will be the opportunity to share worries with us anonymously on site too, as well as through our partners at Crimestoppers.”
