A memorandum of understanding (MoU) between
Guernsey and Jersey on law enforcement matters has been agreed during a visit of
Jersey’s Home Affairs and Justice Committee to Guernsey.
A document was signed, pledging closer cooperation and
collaborative working.
Guernsey's Committee for Home Affairs President Mary Lowe said it made "perfect sense" for the two islands to "share ideas, share knowledge and potentially even in the future share
facilities to tackle these common areas".
"We have a long established working
relationship with Home Affairs in Jersey and I am delighted to have signed an
MoU which helps formalise that connection and which I firmly believe will
benefit both islands in the areas of justice and law enforcement," she said.
Meanwhile, Jersey’s Home Affairs
Minister, Connétable Len Norman said the MoU "provides mutually beneficial
links between our two governments, which are in the long term interests of both
islands".

Library's innovative device to help dementia visitors

BBC Radio Guernsey
Guernsey's Guille Alles Library will become one of the first libraries in the British Isles to use new technology to help visitors with dementia.
The library has purchased a a device called a "Tovertafel" which will help islanders with varying stages of the illness.
"Tovertafel" translates as "magic table" and is a ceiling-mounted projector that projects interactive light games on to an everyday table surface.

Developed in the Netherlands, which is renowned for its cutting-edge approach to dementia care, the technology is beginning to spread around the world.
Light animations are projected on to a table and as players reach out towards them, the lights respond to their hand and arm movements.
It can also be adapted for groups with other needs like people with autism.
Library staff are holding an open day of demonstrations at La Nouvelle Maraitaine Community Library on Thursday 28 February, with members of the public encouraged to come and try the device for themselves.
The price of the Jersey Evening Post will be 80p from Monday - an increase of 5p.
The newspaper's editor, Andy Sibcy, says the weak pound has made paper and printing costs more expensive.
Jersey Evening Post Extra subscribers won't be affected, as their price has been frozen until at least the start of 2020, he added.
Public strikes 'threatens economic wellbeing'
BBC Radio Jersey
The States of Jersey will be asked again to release money to help solve the public sector pay dispute.
Deputy Geoff Southern said the row is now so bad it threatens the social and economic wellbeing of the island.
A similar proposal by the deputy was narrowly defeated in December - when Senator Tracey Vallois, who was then the head of the States Employment Board, chose not to cast a vote.

He said strike action by unions across all sectors is unprecedented in Jersey.
Mediation between unions and the States Employment Board (SEB) continues, but the SEB won't make any further public statements until the dispute is resolved.
It has previously said that there is no more money available.

Jersey art studio has 'extensive damage'
Chris Quevatre
BBC News Online
A fire has caused "extensive damage" to an art studio in Gorey, Jersey, and one person suffered minor burns.
Fire crews spent about three hours at the site on Thursday morning after receiving multiple emergency calls from members of the public.
It's believed the fire was caused by an electric bicycle being charged.
The building had gas cylinders inside and there were concerns over its structural integrity, so firefighters remained outside the building.
The casualty was treated for minor injuries at the scene.
