Police recruitment drive takes to UK airports

The Manx Constabulary is to hold recruitment sessions at three UK airports in the next month.

It's hoped the drive will attract experienced officers to the island.

A spokesman said applications are invited from all ranks - from constables to detectives and those with supervision status. 

The three sessions will be held at Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester airports.

It comes after the force announced it would issue a one-off payment of £3,000 to officers to help stem the "large number of resignations from the constabulary over the past two years".

Many have cited low pay as the main factor.
