"I accept that we do get things wrong. But this piece is very much about trying to balance that and show you some of the good things that are happening." Chief Constable Chris Haward shares the first of his monthly editorial pieces. Read it in full here: lincs.police.uk/news/lincolnsh…

Nice to have some students from Grantham College & University Centre visit us this afternoon. A chance to show them a little about what we do and what happens if you call 101 / 999. Also time to educate about what is / isn't an emergency and a chance to chat about different roles in policing

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. #LestWeForget #WeWillRememberThem

Finally read the Productivity review of Policing. (Well worth viewing commentary by Gavin Hales ). A Lincolnshire perspective in two pictures:

Drivers and motorcyclists - please take care on the roads tonight, there are tricky conditions out there with lots of fog and icy patches across the county. Drive safely, and get there in one piece!

Drones have been a game changer in our ability to keep people safe Particularly when searches involve large areas, difficult terrain, or as below poor weather. Often on scene in minutes they can quickly give us situational awareness and / or identify places to investigate! 🚁

B1176 Carlby - road closed at this time until further notice - please avoid area #TrafficAlert

B1176 Carlby - this is now open #trafficalert

Unwrap the perfect gift this Christmas by applying to join the team as a Contact Management Operator! Handling both 999 & 101 calls you will be the first point of contact for people in crisis - it takes a cool head, a calm demeanor and strong resilience lincs.police.uk/police-forces/…

Storm Henk is affecting parts of Lincolnshire. Two yellow weather warnings are currently in place for wind and rain and are expected to remain until tonight. For advice on how to stay safe and report flooding visit: lincolnshireresilienceforum.org/news/risk/part…

Due to flooding on the A1 at Marston is going to be closed both north and southbound - we have a number of vehicles stuck in flood water ^CD

Due to an RTC we are on scene with road closures at Hubberts Bridge on the crossroad with the A1121/B1192 near Boston. The road is likely to remain closed for sometime so please avoid the area. Inc 0315-19/01/2024 ^CD

We are glad to see us maintain our status as one of the best Forces in the UK at answering 999 calls, and with investment in the last year, we are also making improvements on 101 response times too Hugely proud of the efforts of our team they should rightly take credit for this

On #InternationalWomensDay we chose to celebrate those incredible women in our teams and say thank you for all they do. We are blessed to have many outstanding women here in the FCR and we are proud to work alongside them as *equals*

We are currently escorting an abnormal load on the A15 which is heading north. The load is moving under 20mph so is going to slow other traffic down. It is currently passing Scampton. Incident 0064-20/03/2024 ^CD

THREAD 🧵 I’m often asked what my affiliation is to policing or what the reasons are behind tweeting about policing 🚓 Up until 10 yrs ago I knew little about policing, I consumed what we see/hear on news and anecdotally, but that all changed when I was invited on a ride along 🚨

Our new page on the Lincolnshire Police website has gone live! Insight into the different roles & stories from our team about what it is really like to work here. Recruitment for our September intake will go live later this month so if interested, take a look! lincs.police.uk/police-forces/…

Huge thanks to all the local residents who helped Officers out earlier when they were dealing with a fallen tree blocking the North Kelsey Road, Caistor. The assistance of extra chainsaws meant the road could be re opened a lot quicker! #communityspirit #workingtogether
