Although this post from the Isles of Scilly Police Facebook page doesn’t make it sound too bad;

You need to be careful applying for jobs as an island copper. I remember the infamous Alderney Riot(s) all to clearly. Well, I remember the first one, which was more of a disturbance really, and the second one is a bit hazy because I was asleep in bed having got quite drunk before it happened.

Anyway, I remember the morning after, the extra police turning up from Guernsey, the newspaper headlines, the uneasy quiet on the streets…

Island copper. What could possibly go wrong.

It’s wild out there.
