What measures has Lincolnshire Police taken to rebuild public trust?
Lincolnshire Police chiefs have responded to a report which claimed trust in police forces was"hanging by a thread".
Lincolnshire Police and Crime Commissioner Marc Jones acknowledged the issues raised by the Inspector, saying:"There is no doubt that trust in policing nationally has been eroded over a number of years and, of course, the public always has – rightly – very high expectations of the service they receive.
He also mentioned investment in the force's call centre, and a new command and control system to improve response times and officer deployment. "We believe that this, along with our commitment to our communities and consistently being there for people when they need us, and telling the public about that, will slowly build back any trust and confidence the public may have lost in policing."
"It is no secret that Lincolnshire Police is underfunded, and ranks 42nd of 43 forces in net revenue expenditure per population, but we are still ranked as the 13th safest place in the country, with 15% less crime per 1,000 of population," Debenham said.The force has made significant investments in technology, including a cutting-edge command and control system, to improve response times and officer deployment.
