Crime on the Island is relatively low compared to national averages and the officers of the section are determined to ensure that all the people on the Island, be they residents, workers or visitors, can go about their business without the fear of crime spoiling their enjoyment. A combination of enhanced foot patrols and designated Home Beat Officers help to provide reassurance and a visible presence. However, everyone can play their part in preventing crime by following these few simple guidelines.
