There's been a huge wave of interest in joining the Island’s police force as it carries out its fifth recruitment drive in three years.
A total of ten student officers will start their jobs in January next year, but 1,000 people downloaded information packs form the website or asked for packs by post.
A shortlist of 80 applicants will now be whittled down through an assessment process, before the final ten undergo on-Island training.
Superintendent Paul Cubbon says interest has come from all quarters:
Relatives seeking clarity over potential plans to relocate dementia patients
MHK calls for action over 'atrocious' road signage
Administrative error leaves planning appeal decisions open to legal challenge
Cruise passengers affected by downed railway lines
First candidate declares for Douglas East
