Detectives are being recruited from the UK to try and meet increasing demand in public protection and financial crime investigations.
The Isle of Man Constabulary is trying to attract established constables to join the Criminal Investigations Department.
Chief Constable Gary Roberts has described succession planning as the most important organisational issue facing the constabulary.
