THE Policing Plan for 2010 and 2011 has given police in the Isle of Man a target to achieve a reduction in the number of repeat offenders in the Island.
The plan – which was laid before Tynwald earlier this week – documented policing priorities for the year.
Targets include achieving a reduction in the number of repeat victims and a reduction in the number of people who are killed or seriously injured in motor vehicle incidents.
Other measures include achieving an 80 per cent level of satisfaction from victims of crime and to increase the feelings of safety amongst children and young people.
Home Affairs Minister Adrian Earnshaw MHK said: "The Isle of Man remains a safe place to live and visit but we are aware how external threats can impact on our way of life.
"The plan looks to the future and sets targets to maintain the consistently low level of domestic crime while setting a new objective for the Constabulary to establish a Joint Intelligence Unit to provide a more focused approach to serious and organised criminality and national security."
The Policing Plan was produced following consultation between the Department of Home Affairs and the Constabulary -taking into account views expressed by the Police Advisory Group, the Police Consultative Forum, Members of Tynwald and the results of surveys carried out by the police.
