This site is a beta, which means it's a work in progress and we'll be adding more to it over the next few weeks. Your feedback helps us make things better, so please let us know what you think.
Our ambition is to provide a neighbourhood policing service of which you, and we, can be proud. Prevention will be at the heart of our work, through well-informed collaborative problem-solving, building participation and strengthening the communities we serve. We will remain part of those communities, known and accessible to you, and policing in a way that both prevents harm and enhances your trust in us.
Our approach is shaped by five key themes: accessibility, prevention, relationships, vulnerability, relationships and partnerships. These will underpin all areas of our service and form the basis of our neighbourhood policing offer.

Class A Drugs in Sleaford, minimising the violence
linked to drug supply, Reducing the demand for Class
A drugs by offering support for addiction.
Issued 24 July 2024
During the first week in October, local officers were part
of a large-scale operation to tackle suspected County
Lines drug operations. Over the course of two days in
the Sleaford area, eight people were arrested, three
warrants were carried out, three children were
safeguarded, and weapons, cash and drugs were seized.
Neighbourhood Policing officers were supported by
British Transport Police’s (BTP) County Lines Taskforce,
and the Metropolitan Police’s Op Orochi County Lines
task force.
In the same week, a county lines drug trafficker who ran
a drugs line that supplied cocaine and heroin into
Sleaford was convicted at Lincoln Crown Court. Kieran
Staff, 40 of no fixed address, was sentenced to three
years in prison after an investigation led by Lincolnshire
Police and supported by the Metropolitan Police’s Op
Orochi county lines task force.

Summertime Anti-social behaviour – policing the hotspots across the area where we typically see a surge in nuisance
behaviour and disorder.
Issued 24 July 2024
Since the start of September, we have been able to have
more officers spending time in areas which are
negatively affected by the behaviour of others. So far
this has been very well received, with lots of positive
endorsements from residents, shoppers and retailers
who are regularly telling us how nice it is to “see a bobby
out on the beat”. Our extra patrols will continue through
the winter months.
Actioned 01 November 2024
High harm offenders – We will continue to focus our
efforts on the small nucleus of offenders who we
identify as being behind the highest proportion of
disorder, nuisance or repeated thefts from stores. In
addition to positive police enforcement action, we will
work with partners to address the root causes of
behaviour, including mental health, drug and alcohol
addiction, and housing issues.
Issued 01 November 2024
Anti-Social Behaviour Hotspots – In addition to the
additional officer hours dedicated to foot patrols and
high-visibility engagement in Sleaford, our
Neighbourhood Policing Team will support patrols and
make sure that the end of the school day in our towns
passes calmly and without worry to shoppers,
residents or retailers.
