Structures and Deployment
The force has about 240 officers in its establishment being the national police service of the Isle of Man. As the Isle of Man is not a part of the United Kingdom, the Constabulary is responsible to the Minister of Home Affairs of the Isle of Man Government. Nevertheless, the service volunteers itself for inspection by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) for England and Wales.
The force is split into five neighbourhood policing teams (NPTs). Northern NPT covers the North of the Island - Ramsey, Andreas, Bride, Ballaugh, Lezayre, Maughold, Jurby. Western NPT covers Patrick, German, Michael, and Peel. Southern NPT overs the Airport, Ballasalla, Castletown, Port St Mary, and Port Erin. Eastern NPT covers Braddan, Laxey, Lonan, and Onchan. Douglas NPT covers the borough of Douglas. Each NPT is controlled by an inspector who has established a partnership with the local community to help solve issues affecting the local area.
Every year the force polices the Isle of Man TT races.
The constabulary's headquarters are in the Manx capital, Douglas. The present Chief Constable is Mike Langdon.

Famous quotes containing the word structures:
“The philosopher believes that the value of his philosophy lies in its totality, in its structure: posterity discovers it in the stones with which he built and with which other structures are subsequently built that are frequently better—and so, in the fact that that structure can be demolished and yet still possess value as material.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
