Ian Horsey

@SoniaRowe15 Thanks Sonia - I'm just building on all our hard work now 👍🏻

@IanHorsey @DCIDaveDobbie Congratulations Ian. A natural rite of passage. As you were there at beginning of restructure to professionalise IOMSC. You’ve worked tremendously hard 🫡

Minor tweak to the profile now that I am officially Chief Officer of the Isle of Man Special Constabulary. Very pleased to have been asked to take on the role after a very thorough interview with the Chief Constable and @DCIDaveDobbie

@HantsLeadSC Thank you - looking forward to working with you all.

@IanHorsey @DCIDaveDobbie Ian - great news ! A challenging role but ultimately very rewarding. I see my colleagues have already started getting you linked in with things …. But if you event need anything drop me a line

@keatingteam1 Thank you 👍🏻

@IanHorsey @DCIDaveDobbie Congratulations Ian

@GaryRobertsIOM Thank you very much. Hope you are keeping well!

@IanHorsey @DCIDaveDobbie Well done, Ian. Thoroughly deserved.

@DCIDaveDobbie Lots to be getting on with in the new year, and looking forward to working with the excellent team of volunteers to improve what we can offer to the Constabulary.

@morag1302 @africanhorizons @NewmarketHols The famous 'going away' shot 😂 That's awesome!

Me: When was the last time you saw a rhino? @africanhorizons driver: a long, long time ago @NewmarketHols rep: never Me: ooh is that...... #Kenya #Safari #Rhino #TsavoWest

Had a busy week assessing new recruits for the @iompolice Some great work and dedication by all of the assessors, and we will be welcoming some people with great potential to the policing family in the very near future. #PoliceFamily

@liammnusnu @Miles_PBH It's not bright yellow though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Torch porn. Can’t wait for the next night shift. What is it with specials and fancy torches?

@simoncgallagher @EngineerLondon @UKPowerman What is the ethernet cable in the photo for? Is there a box of tricks that goes on the LV board?

@EngineerLondon @UKPowerman Makes me smile seeing the same caution notice on a 275kV disconnector as an LV fuse way 😂 we are lucky as a country to have a legacy of (mostly) harmonised safety rules.

We found the fault ✅ We cancelled our safety document ✅ We removed our earths We’ve handed it to @UKPowerman ✅ Now. To lob volts at it. Stand clear boys and girls. We got this ⚡️💪🏻

@isleofmantoday I hope someone is looking in to it....

@Miles_PBH One, then three, and if it's a big night out, two on the way home.

I’m left on my own in the house tonight as DrE is out on the lash with her pals. Should I

@EngineerLondon @lincolnsecurity That is an amazing leaving gift 😂

Off to a retirement party with the missing link. Thanks again @lincolnsecurity for a bespoke substation accessory. You always deliver quality and innovation 🙌🏻

@Malcolm_999 @UK_ISAR_TEAM In the train, yes. Under the train, probably not.

Slightly damp for an evening exercise this week @UK_ISAR_TEAM Rain went on for an hour. Discussion about whether lying under a train offers Faraday Cage protection. Thought we might find out.

@Jonesey326 That looks quite high up!

@TerribleMaps How is it that the best survey in the world doesn't include the country I live in on its list of countries? Terrible...

Link to the best survey ever: s.surveyplanet.com/hieyldat

I've created the survey! If enough people complete it I'll be able to create a vast array of terrible maps from the data. It should take less than 10 mins to complete so if you have 5-10 mins to spare i'd really appreciate your answers. Please share/like/comment to increase reach! (Link is in subsequent post because putting a link in a post seems to massively limit reach) Thanks!

We will be recruiting later this year for our next cohort of Special Constables to start training in early 2025. If you want to discuss any aspect of the work, the application and assessment process, or the training requirements, please get in touch!

If this sounds like something you might be interested in and you’re up for a new challenge that you wouldn’t get in the day job, or want to learn new transferrable skills to give you the edge for the next promotion?

#volunteersweek ends tomorrow. On the Isle of Man, 11 Special Constables have made time to come out and assist in the massive policing operation that is required for the TT motorcycle races.
