South Kesteven policing plan

Working together to make the district of South Kesteven the safest place to live, work and visit.

South Kesteven is a geographically diverse and widespread district located within the beautiful countryside of the south west of Lincolnshire. The majority of the 143,000 population resides in the four historic market towns of Grantham, Stamford, the Deepings and Bourne. The remainder live in the network of villages and rural dwellings in between. 

The largest of the towns and main administrative centre is Grantham. This is the location of the area’s main police station. The station contains the custody suite facility for the area, housing up to 14 detainees at any one time. Investigative, safeguarding and roads policing resources are also based from Grantham. In addition to Grantham there are operational police stations in both Stamford and Bourne, with teams of response officers covering calls for service 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Neighbourhood Policing Team for the district is based at all three of the stations within the area and are supported and managed by three Sergeants. The two wards evidenced to be most at risk each have an additional allocation of two police community support officers.

I am the Inspector responsible for Neighbourhood Policing in South Kesteven and have been in post for two years. I see the hard work undertaken day to day by our officers and I am proud to be associated with such a dedicated team of people.

In the coming year we will continue to work in partnership with other agencies to ensure we use a structured and an evidence based approach to achieve the vision of making Lincolnshire the safest place for people to live, work and visit.
