Police start drop-in sessions after station closures

Tuesday, 6 October 2015 00:00

Police officers are starting weekly drop-in sessions in areas where budget cuts have forced the closure of police stations.

That's Inspector Derek Flint - starting today officers will be on hand at Onchan School on Tuesday mornings and at the old Pulrose Police Station on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

They want people to drop in to discuss any concerns or issues they may be having in their local area.

Inspector Flint says it's important to keep the communication channels open:
