The Manx police force is trying to lure officers from other forces to the island.

Applications for what it calls ’transferee constables’ close on Friday, April 14, at 5pm.

Sergeant Paul Kemp said: ’We are looking for experienced officers and applicants must have completed their probationary period as a Constable to be eligible to apply.

’This is in addition to our planned local recruitment campaigns.

’It’s important that all applicants are able to demonstrate their knowledge of the Isle of Man and our organisation.’
