Patrols, and specialist operations on the coast during the busy season

As we welcome thousands of visitors to the coast, we will continue with patrols, engagement and targeted operations throughout the bank holiday and half term to help keep residents and visitors safe.

We will deploy more officers to the coast to meet demand and work with our partners including the local council and RNLI Working in to help make the coast the safest place to live, work and visit.

Since the plan was launched last month, we have already had some good results which saw more than 180 vehicles randomly stop checked across the coast.

Working with pubs and clubs we are continuing with raising awareness of drink spiking and violence against women and girls (VAWG).

 

 

 

As well as focusing on Op Atlantis, vehicle stop checks during the long weekend in Mablethorpe and in Skegness, we will also continue with our Summertime Policing Plan objectives which can be located here: Summertime Policing | Lincolnshire Police (lincs.police.uk)

Other areas we will look at includes school engagement, street drinking, caravan watch, drink spiking, Sandi Starfish to assist with missing children, carrying out more patrols of Skegness and surrounding coastal areas.  See a breakdown of all our key priorities for the coast in our Summertime Policing Plan 2023.

East coast Chief Inspector Lee St Quinton said: “We welcome all of our visitors and holiday makers to the coast and want them to feel as safe as they can be and to enjoy their time here.

“To enable us to help people feel safe we launched out Summertime Policing Plan which has seen some really good results. We have had some great success and we will continue with the plan to make the people feel as safe as they can be.”
