Cops probably didn't show up when a group of teenagers were sat at the end of his road talking loudly

Prick. I’m a school kid and and an old person. No wonder you lot are useless. 
 

Found the burglars yet? Mayors chain. B&q heist? How about inspector Thompson daughter getting off. How about the off duty policeman doing the hit and run at Ballachurry? You done anything at all. Except play with guns snd look after your own.

Here's a slightly odd story from the police

Crime crackdown to follow Isle of Man police public roadshow

Quote

Public feedback from an upcoming police roadshow will lead to a crackdown in crime and anti-social behaviour, the Isle of Man's chief constable has said.

Nice to know we've got a soothsayer in charge.

They could try the old fashioned patrolling, that always worked in the past.

Announcing the result of a consultation before it's happened is fairly dumb even for a senior public servant on the Island.

It's a very odd omission.  Here's the schedule of meetings, which the BBC failed to provide:

It's not just that it's not in Douglas, it's not even that central for Onchan

If you are referring to the Tomlinson case, I handled the inquiry into that, which culminated in a 10000 word report, procedural changes and words of advice for several officers. There was nothing bent, just incompetence due to, in the main a lack of key training.

So nobody 'got off' it was a procedural lack of depth in the investigation that meant that some stuff that should have been checked, wasn't which undermined.the principle of 'beyond reasonable doubt'

Playing with guns? Really? Another area I was heavily involved in and substantially reformed in terms of equipment, selection and training including command. Guns only come out when the criteria is met. Covered elsewhere in the thread.

No idea.what Ballachurry was about.

Just because you served in the force, doesn’t mean you know more than Gizo 🤔
