Plans to tighten Island's safety and security

Measures are being taken to tackle threats to the Island's safety and security coming through vulnerable entry points.

Government says there's growing evidence that criminal networks are looking to exploit the Isle of Man's limited border controls and identity checks to import drugs, criminal property and weapons.

Changes include ensuring the Immigration and Customs teams work closer together and reviewing the ports policing functions.

Officers are also looking to improve active controls at sea ports, a more consistent approach to private aircraft information logging, and the monitoring of wider parcel services.

The use of Automatic Number Plate Recognition at ports and updated x-ray scanning equipment for parcels is also being considered.
