It will be in operation every Tuesday from 4pm-6pm
Isle of Man residents are being invited to chat with police officers this afternoon, as part of efforts to make the emergency service more accessible.
From 4pm until 6pm, a dedicated WhatsApp line will be active, and officers will be monitoring direct messages on the constabulary's Facebook page.
