There's been a huge wave of interest in joining the Island’s police force as it carries out its fifth recruitment drive in three years.
A total of ten student officers will start their jobs in January next year, but 1,000 people downloaded information packs form the website or asked for packs by post.
A shortlist of 80 applicants will now be whittled down through an assessment process, before the final ten undergo on-Island training.
Superintendent Paul Cubbon says interest has come from all quarters:
Public Health reports increase in flu-like illnesses
Cabinet Office spent more than £92k on North and West Area Plan inquiry last summer
MHK fears former MHK's meat plant role creates 'transparency issue'
Half of Island's public access defibrillators back in use thanks to charity
