Go out and enjoy yourself but be safe, urges Constabulary
Being violent after drinking too much over the festive period will always lead to an arrest.
That's the warning from the Island's police ahead of the Christmas party season.
Officers are urging those heading to licensed premises in the coming weeks to respect those working in pubs, bars and clubs.
Sergeant Alan Shimmin says many of the arrests made over the Supermanx Bank Holiday weekend this summer were avoidable:
Overnight sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
7:45pm Manxman crossing and its return have been called off
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Fayle jailed for 18 years and 9 months
Complaints process for health system changed
Patients told to direct concerns to service used
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
Manx Wild Bird Aid say it's a recurring problem in Peel
Charges now in place for those sending parcels to the EU
Changes have been introduced by EU rather than the IOMPO
