Constabulary finds it 'difficult to be impartial'
A former police officer has called on government to investigate a fully independent complaints procedure for the force.
Ged Power was one of four residents to present a petition for redress at Tynwald Day yesterday.
He believes recent cases have highlighted 'ineffective' oversight of officers.
Unlike in the England and Wales, complaints against the Isle of Man Constabulary are handled by a single, government-appointed representative.
Eight grievances were recorded against Manx police last year, up from five the year before.
Mr Power hopes the process can be improved:
Tynwald approves changes to sitting schedule, including half-term breaks and revised start dates
Plea to Manx parents to check meningitis vaccination status
Bus dispute ‘a considerable way apart’ as talks continue, says infrastructure minister
Noble's bed capacity exceeding industry-recognised 'safe levels'
