The chief minister says an 11 per cent rise in crime on the Island isn't a cause for concern.
Howard Quayle MHK says cannabis possession in particular needs to be cracked down on.
He was speaking after Chief Constable Gary Roberts released his annual report earlier this week.
Mr Quayle says a revised drug and alcohol strategy would benefit the Island greatly:
Politician to query government income from medical cannabis
Police appeal over prom incident
Christian to defend seat
Police ask people to avoid Mountain Road after supercar crash
Over £2.7k raised by firefighters' 'Station To Summit' challenge
Onchan post office to stop trading
Police report fall in sexual offences
Newsagent to run in election
