Derek Flint 3,906 Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 No story here. ultimately, detection of crime is a small part of the job, and because it is so low here the focus should be on how the cops are performing in other areas. The overall public safety picture is more important, especially in areas such as our roads. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope full details are provided to our police. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The overall public safety picture is more important, especially in areas such as our roads. Many of the charts in this report show crimes rising and detection rates worsening. Even public satisfaction has fallen. Overall, not a v good report. Must do better. I did like the tribute to Bill Malarkey though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The fact is, the Isle of Man would be better off if we abolished the Constabulary altogether, along with the rest of the Government, and privatised everything. We don't need the police. They need us, and they need to make up stupid fictional crimes to justify their existence. I say, f off. We as an island are just the right size to be a test study in how to run a jurisdiction without any government at all. 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThreeRaccoonsInATrenchCoat 86 Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Any drugs that do enter the island are allowed to enter it by the Police. You read that correctly: they let it in. If they didn't, they'd be out of the job. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It happened in the US: the CIA were literally importing drugs in the coffins of dead soldiers from Vietnam, then using that money to fund Iran-Contra. Sorry if you have no clue about what goes on in the world or you have some weird belief that the Isle of Man is somehow immune from such corrupt practices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
