Summary
Lincolnshire is a mainly rural county bordered by the North Sea and the Wash with a population of 674,000 and 282,000 households. It encompasses small villages, market towns and the city of Lincoln, the largest urban centre. The coastal area has a high influx of summertime tourists. The population is predominately classed as white British, although it is becoming more diverse, with a significant increase in minority ethnic groups settling in the county to work in the agricultural sector.
Lincolnshire Police is organised into a force headquarters, providing all operational and non-operational support departments, and three territorial commands. West Lincolnshire is a pathfinder for the Neighbourhood Policing Project, with 25 neighbourhood policing teams.
The force has responded positively to a period of unprecedented change at national and local level against a backdrop of major operational challenge and a difficult budgetary situation. The command team has developed a new vision for Lincolnshire Police and has implemented a strategic plan to ensure continued and considered development of the force.
Strategic priorities include: adopting a citizen-focused approach to service delivery; reducing crime and improving investigation standards by having a fully integrated approach to cross-border serious and organised crime; promoting safety and reducing the fear of crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour; introducing the National Call-Handling Standard; and complying with Bichard recommendations.
