MHK raises concerns over policing numbers

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Concerns have been raised as to whether there are enough police officers to keep the Island safe.

Staff numbers have been put under the spotlight once again following a particularly busy time for officers earlier this month.

It led to one politician saying he feared police would have been in "deep trouble" if they'd been called to another job - as officers had already been working 20 hours shifts.

Onchan MHK Peter Karran is one of those concerned and has urged government to think ahead.

Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson is one of those concerned - he says we need to think ahead
