=== Crime ===
The Crime Severity Rate in Man, which largely measures crimes directed against persons or property, remains substantially less than that in the United Kingdom, although the rate of violent crime has been increasing in recent years. Most violent crime is associated with the trade in illegal drugs.<ref>{{cite web |title=CHIEF CONSTABLE'S ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 |url=https://www.tynwald.org.im/business/opqp/sittings/20182021/2020-GD-0020.pdf |website=Tynwald – Parliament of the Isle of Man |access-date=24 February 2022 |archive-date=1 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220501094832/https://www.tynwald.org.im/business/opqp/sittings/20182021/2020-GD-0020.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>

The Government of Man has laid out a strategy entailing a "whole-Island approach" to address the serious problems of money laundering, financial crime and terrorism financing.<ref>{{cite web |date=June 2021 |title=Financial Crime Strategy 2021–23 |url=https://www.gov.im/media/1373450/isle-of-man-financial-crime-strategy-2021-2023.pdf |website=gov.im |publisher=Isle of Man Government |access-date=9 March 2022 |archive-date=9 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210709100614/https://www.gov.im/media/1373450/isle-of-man-financial-crime-strategy-2021-2023.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Emergency services ===
The Isle of Man Government maintains five emergency services.<ref>{{cite web |date=16 August 2013 |title=Emergency services |url=http://cf.gov.im/categories/home-and-neighbourhood/emergency-services/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130816235226/http://cf.gov.im/categories/home-and-neighbourhood/emergency-services/ |archive-date=16 August 2013 |access-date=15 August 2019 |website=gov.im |publisher=Isle of Man Government}}</ref> These are:
* [[Isle of Man Constabulary]] (police)
* [[Isle of Man Coastguard]]
* [[Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service]]
* [[Isle of Man Ambulance Service]]
* [[Isle of Man Civil Defence Corps]]

All of these services are controlled directly by the [[Department of Home Affairs (Isle of Man)|Department of Home Affairs]] of the Isle of Man Government and are independent of the United Kingdom. Nonetheless, the Isle of Man Constabulary voluntarily submits to inspection by the British inspectorate of police,<ref>{{cite web |title=Welcome to the Isle of Man Constabulary |url=http://www.gov.im/dha/police/ |website=gov.im |publisher=Isle of Man Government |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070303101639/http://www.gov.im/dha/police/ |archive-date=3 March 2007 |access-date=11 September 2011}}</ref> and the Isle of Man Coastguard contracts His Majesty's Coastguard (UK) for air-sea rescue operations.

===Crematorium===
The island's sole [[crematorium]] is located in Glencrutchery Road, Douglas, and operated by the Douglas Borough Council. Usually staffed by four, in March 2020 an increase of staff to 12 was announced by the Council leader, responding to the threat of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], which could require more staff.<ref>{{Cite news |date=13 March 2020 |title=More staff trained to operate island's crematorium |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-isle-of-man-51861337 |access-date=30 April 2020 |archive-date=13 March 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200313085437/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-isle-of-man-51861337 |url-status=live}}</ref>
