Engagement Strategy 2024-28

The Chief Constable for Lincolnshire Police’s strategy sets out an overarching objective to keeping Lincolnshire safe.

To achieve this, the Force will focus on three priority areas

• Stopping crime and anti-social behaviour
• Protecting from harm
• Helping those in need

The Force engagement strategy aims to empower and involve communities, with the ultimate aim being to support and realise the Chief Constable’s strategy.

Engagement with our communities has never been more important than it is now. We live in an age where information is plentiful, the ability and expectation to have a two-way conversation through means other than just face-to-face is routine, and collective public consciousness is more inclusive of others than ever before. People are entering conversations on subjects that are important to them personally but also on the behalf of others.

For a police force, harnessing the power of this desire to engage and be heard, and providing people with a platform to do so is central to good policing. It helps us focus on the needs of the public we serve and enables individuals to be part of the way in which we police the areas where they live and work. All of this strengthens and supports the guiding
principle of policing by consent.

The police are the public and the public are the police.

Our engagement strategy is simple: it aims to empower communities, ask and be asked questions, and provide answers and results through direct actions that reduce and prevent harm. We want our communities to know we are listening: You said, we did.
