Working together to make Lincolnshire the safest place to live, work and visit
"It is my privilege as Chief Constable of Lincolnshire Police to introduce our strategy. ‘Making Lincolnshire Safe’ sets out the strategic direction for Lincolnshire Police, supporting the Police and Crime Commissioner’s Police and Crime Plan.
Lincolnshire is a mix of rural, coastal, and urban communities spanning 2,286 square miles, with a population of over 700,000 residents. Not to forget the tourism industry which attracts over 21 million visitors annually to our county. We are diverse and unique, and our policing approach must reflect and represent our communities.
Our three policing purposes are simple. We need to stop crime and anti-social behaviour, protect people from harm, and help those in need. To achieve these outcomes we will focus on five core themes of people, partners, culture, capability, and communities. I believe that with our strong delivery plan in these areas we will see Lincolnshire go from strength to strength, and our policing purposes will not only be met and maintained, but also exceeded.
We want to see sustained reductions in offending, have communities who feel safe and protected from harm, and have a workforce who are knowledgeable, confident, skilled, and equipped to do their job well. In simple terms we will put people at the heart of everything we do.
I am extremely proud to be the Chief Constable of Lincolnshire Police, and I thoroughly look forward to working together to make Lincolnshire the safest place to live, work and visit."
