Lincolnshire Police’s response to super-complaint on the police response to stalking

Earlier this year, His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services, the Independent Office for Police Conduct and College of Policing, published their findings into a super-complaint on stalking. The report made recommendations for policing and wider criminal justice agencies to improve the response to victims of stalking.

In 2022, the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, on behalf of the National Stalking Consortium, submitted a super-complaint raised concerns around the police response to stalking in England and Wales, including identifying and investigating stalking behaviours and ensuring protections for victims. 

In response to this, we have now published our action plan that sets out what Lincolnshire Police will do in relation to the recommendations made for policing. That plan can be found below.

Assistant Chief Constable Nikki Mayo said: "We welcome and are committed to the recommendations made and remain committed to delivering a high-quality service to victims.

“Stalking and harassment can have a devastating effect on victims, and we are continually looking for ways to drive best practice and make sure we help to tackle this type of criminality. Our action plan sets out what we have achieved and what we still need to do and we will make sure we continue to review and adapt in order to help those in need.”
