Back to detective school for you, methinks. Not denying those things have occurred though? Way to try and obscure the truth. I’ve had bad dealings with cops, yes, but work closely with (not for) the DOI, not DHA. Why does it matter which department? Which do you work in?

I think the JVCI recommendation myth was blown out of the water at the last Tynwald. And the Statement Mr Creegen is working on at the moment is Mr Callister resignation, so please have faith. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Derek Flint 4,188 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 1 hour ago, John Wright said: Not specifically, no. All sorts of roles that have been trained for within the force and then civilianised. The structure of retirement and pension age needs to be revisited. There are many non front line and administrative and technical jobs that older personnel could continue to be employed to deliver, whilst contributing to the pension scheme, reducing draw down etc. It’s happening wholesale in the UK. Much more flexibility and at last innovation. That said, I’m still a bit dismayed at some of the places money is being spent. 1 hour ago, The Duck of Atholl said: I’d be curious to know the percentage figure for officers retiring “sick” on 26 years which enables them then to draw a full pension. I think this disincentivises officers from doing their full 30 and encourages them to look for an out We are a relatively rare breed to be honest. I’m actually struggling to think of the last one, other than myself, who went in that window. Most other Ill health retirements have been much younger in service. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I see lots of some aspects of Police work. Don’t envy anyone in the job. Three things. My personal views. 1. No-one should be allowed to retire from public service, receive lump sum and pension and then be re-employed in the public service. 2. The force has many more at senior, even sergeant, numbers than it did. Yes, population has increased as have specialisms. But overall size and especially higher ranks and civilian support have increased disproportionally. It’s double the size it was 40 years ago. It was accepted then that it was disproportionally over staffed because of the huge increase in summer population due to visitor numbers, which have now substantially decreased. 3. number 1. can be resolved by having a common public service retirement age of 67. Retain expertise. Utilise it. Divert older personnel from front line to support/admin/specialisms/supervisory roles. 7 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John makes a fair point about the double dipping aspect though. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

buncha wankas 207 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 23 hours ago, manxst said: I’m presuming the 50 officers down aren’t necessarily isolating because they or close family have the virus, but because they fulfil specific functions and can’t risk catching the virus in case they are needed. I’m sure they could work if required. Also, they won’t be the big standard ‘response/patrol’ officers, so your garage and car will be as safe as usual. They need to bring in emergency powered before this gets out of hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
