The chief constable says his officers will be dedicated to maintaining a community focus, despite having to make £600,000-worth of savings in the coming financial year.
Mike Langdon appeared live on Talking Heads on Manx Radio this lunchtime to speak about the cuts.

Mr Langdon says people will notice some differences:
Substantial damaged caused by fire station blaze
Two firefighters were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
‘No risk to public’ after fire at Castletown Fire Station
Emergency services tackle blaze near Ronaldsway
Not one affordable house available to buy
There were 266 applicants on the register as of 20 July
