Force Information
Neighbourhood Policing Teams
Neighbourhood Policing Teams are the officers you see in uniform
patrolling the streets of the Isle of Man on foot and in cars. They are there
to keep you safe, help you if you are in trouble and catch people
committing crimes that affect the whole community. Neighbourhood
Policing Team officers work across the whole Island through the night and
day. They work out of main police stations in Douglas, Onchan, Ramsey,
Port Erin and Peel within five distinct neighbourhoods.
Neighbourhood Support Teams
Police Officers in the Neighbourhood Support Teams are called Detectives. Detectives are
officers who have received special training and investigate serious crime. They help the
Neighbourhood Policing Teams by using their training to solve crimes, stop drugs coming
into the Island and to protect and help children and families. Detectives are different to
officers in Neighbourhood Policing Teams as they do not wear a uniform.
There are four types of work a Detective can do:
•
Criminal Investigation Department
• Drug Trafficking Unit
•
Public Protection Unit
• Financial Crime Unit
Whilst they all have different jobs, all officers work together to make the Isle of Man a safer place.
Roads Policing Unit
The Roads Policing Unit (RPU) provides specialist support to the Neighbourhood Policing
Teams in all ‘road’ matters. This can include dealing with serious and fatal road traffic
accidents, assistance with road safety campaigns and speed enforcement. They also
provide security for VIPs and driver training. The Unit spends a lot of time trying to
educate young drivers and prevent them from driving dangerously and causing road
collisions, which can result in serious or fatal injuries. The RPU has a fleet of highly-visible
police cars and motorcycles, but also uses several ‘unmarked’ police cars.
Dogs
The Police Dog Unit has 5 handlers and around 11 dogs. The dogs
have specific jobs to do and are either ‘general purpose’ dogs or
‘specialist’ dogs.
We have 5 general purpose dogs. These search for people, track, find
property and catch criminals; they are normally German or Belgian
Shepherd-type dogs.
There are 6 specialist dogs. These are trained to find drugs,
ammunition, firearms, cash and explosives. We use Labradors and
Spaniels, as they have the best noses and ability for this type of work. You will see our dogs working at the
Sea Terminal, Airport, post offices and schools.
All our dogs are tested twice a year and must pass their exams to carry on working. They all live at home with their
handler, who is their best friend.
Scientific and Technical Support Unit (SATSU)
The SATSU is split into four areas:
CSI – Crime Scene Investigators: These officers help other Police
Officers to catch criminals by finding fingerprints and taking
photographs wherever they have been committing crime.
HTCU – High-Tech Crime Unit: These officers look at computers that
belong to criminals to see whether they planned to commit crime
before they were caught.
MPE – Mobile Phone Examiners: These officers check mobile phones
to see if criminals have been phoning or texting each other before or
after they have committed crime.
TSU – Technical Support Unit: These are people who aren’t officers, but help the Police with things like video, DVDs
and cameras so officers can see what criminals have been doing.

Neighbourhoods
Douglas
The Douglas Neighbourhood Policing Team (DNPT) is based at Lord Street Police Station and two smaller stations at
Pulrose and Willaston. The officers cover all of Douglas and areas on the outskirts of town, such as Anagh Coar.
The DNPT area is split into seven ‘wards’, and each of the wards has specific officers allocated to them, whose job it is
to identify and solve problems, such as anti-social behaviour. The remaining officers are also community officers, but
have day-to-day responsibility for responding to reports of crime and issues such as traffic-related problems. The main
job of the Police is to keep people safe and the officers in Douglas do their very best to help the community feel safe.
South
The Southern Neighbourhood Policing Team (SNPT) covers Santon, Ballasalla, Castletown, Ballabeg, Colby, Port Erin
and Port St Mary. There are two main Police Stations – one in Castletown and one in Port Erin. As well as dealing with
calls for help from the public, our officers have lots of other jobs to do, such as visiting schools and speaking to young
people, going to youth clubs and joining in or helping with activities, helping to run Neighbourhood Watch schemes in
local estates and generally making sure that the locals and visitors to our area feel safe.
West
The Western Neighbourhood Policing Team (WNPT) works out of Peel Police Station and covers the west of the Island,
which includes Marown, Patrick, German and Kirk Michael. Western Police work with organisations such as the
commissioners, schools and Government departments to help keep people safe. This partnership helps solve problems,
sometimes with the aid of local people. Helping children is one of the main priorities of the Police in the west and
each school has its own dedicated officers assisted by ‘Westy’, the talking police car. Keeping everyone safe on the
roads is also very important. Sometimes you will see them outside your school with a handheld speed gun.
North
The Northern Neighbourhood Policing Team (NNPT) covers most of the north of the Island, including Ramsey,
Maughold, Bride, Andreas and Ballaugh. Ramsey Police Station, based in the Old Courthouse building in Parliament
Street, is the team’s central point. The officers who work in the north regularly visit schools and youth clubs and help
with activities because it is important that young people feel able to speak with officers. We also help run
Neighbourhood Watch schemes and try to make sure that both locals and visitors to our area feel safe.
East
The Eastern Neighbourhood Policing Team (ENPT) covers areas just outside the outskirts of Douglas, including Onchan,
Braddan, Laxey and Lonan. These areas comprise of large residential areas, business parks and countryside. There are
three Police Stations - Onchan and Braddan, which are permanently manned, and Laxey, which is used by the officers
covering that area whenever they need it. To help keep people safe our officers work closely with the commissioners and
their clerks, who are responsible for those areas, as well as other organisations such as our local schools, where officers
help the schools teach good citizenship values.

Fact File
• The Isle of Man Constabulary was formally established in September 1863
• George Patrick Goldie was appointed the first Head Constable of the Isle of Man Constabulary (the rank of Chief
Constable was created in 1884)
• In 1960, the distinctive white helmets you see officers wearing today were introduced for summer months and
special occasions
• The first female Police Officers were temporarily employed during the First World War 1914 – 1918.
Female Police Officers were permanently employed from 1967. WPC Margaret E Corkill was the first female
Police Officer recruited in 1967
• In 1999, the distinctive white helmets were first worn throughout the year
• On 19th April 2004 the Emergency Services Joint Control Room went live - the first of its kind in the UK
When the Isle of Man Constabulary was first formed there were 57 Police Officers.
Isle of Man Constabulary now employs more than 300 people; a mix of Police
Officers and civilian support staff.
The birth of the Isle of Man Constabulary
• The Isle of Man’s first Police Officers were established in 1777. Previously there had been a feudal system of
justice. The Police were small in number; they only worked during the daytime, were usually old and feeble men
and were poorly paid. A Constable received £5 per year and a Chief Constable (equivalent in rank to today’s
Police Sergeant) £6
• The Island was divided into four districts, namely Douglas, Castletown, Ramsey and Peel. In 1790, Castletown,
the Island’s capital at the time, boasted seven Constables plus a Chief Constable. Douglas had five Constables
plus a Chief Constable, whilst Ramsey and Peel each had one Constable and one Chief Constable
• In 1822, the first Special Constables were sworn in to cope with rioting in Peel and Douglas
• In 1853, 20 police officers served the whole of the Island and they received an increase in salary to £40 per year
for Chief Constables and £30 per year for Constables
• In July 1863, after two years of public pressure against the perceived lawlessness on the Island, the Lieutenant
Governor successfully petitioned the Secretary of State to appoint a Chief of Police who would control all the
Island’s Police Officers, increase their pay and increase the number of Police Officers
• In September 1863, the Isle of Man Police Forces were amalgamated under the first Head Constable,
George Patrick Goldie, and the Isle of Man Constabulary was born
