A period of significant change awaits a government department, its minister has acknowledged.
Home Affairs will enter a time of transition early in the New Year with changes in senior personnel and the introduction of new ways of working.
Gary Roberts will officially take over as chief constable in January, succeeding the retiring Mike Langdon, while in February, Brian Draper is due to retire as chief fire officer.
Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson says that role has evolved over recent times:
Abuse towards bus drivers 'will not be tolerated'
Mountain Road closed due to snow and ice
Dog owners and farmers surveyed on sheep worrying
Majority of rates going up for residents across the Island
Island resident believes he has Archibald Knox's pet cat
