Tynwald approval has been granted to the major spend on developing a new custody block at police headquarters.
The current facility dates back to 1979 and had been described as no longer fit for purpose.

The new improved facility will cost two and a half million pounds.
The majority of the works will be carried out by off Island contractors.
