Work is underway to recruit new police officers on the Isle of Man.

The Isle of Man Constabulary wants to appoint student constables to start in September.

As part of the recruitment process drop in sessions are being held in a bid to attract new people into the force.

Potential candidates have the opportunity to speak to serving officers about the role, the recruitment process and career prospects.

The closing date for applications is May 26th - the next drop in session will take place at the Sea Terminal next Tuesday.

Inspector Dave Dobbie says it's important to be honest with those taking an interest:
