Our overall assessment of the force’s 2018/19 performance. 2. Our judgments and summaries of how effectively, efficiently and legitimately the force keeps people safe and reduces crime. 3. Our judgments and any areas for improvement and causes of concern for each component of our inspection. 4. Our detailed findings for each component. Our inspection approach In 2018/19, we adopted an integrated PEEL assessment (IPA) approach to our existing PEEL (police effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy) inspections. IPA combines into a single inspection the effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy areas of PEEL. These areas had previously been inspected separately each year. As well as our inspection findings, our assessment is informed by our analysis of: • force data and management statements; • risks to the public; • progress since previous inspections; • findings from our non-PEEL inspections; • how forces tackle serious and organised crime locally and regionally; and • our regular monitoring work.

  • Op Talla Positive Impact Briefing
    OFFICIAL Lincolnshire Police Response to COVID-19 Pandemic Positive Impact Briefing June 2020 Author: Kelly Rodgers Sponsor: ACC Kerrin Wilson Page 1 of 9 OFFICIAL Introduction Lincolnshire is a large and rural geographical area with a relatively poor infrastructure in terms of road network, in fact Lincolnshire has one of the worst Road Traffic Collision (RTC) rates in the Country, therefore travelling between locations can take much longer than anticipated. Over the last couple of years, police demand in Lincolnshire, in terms of the number of calls to the police and the number and complexity of recorded crimes has increased. However the number of police officers to deal with this increased demand has fallen, largely due to the reductions in funding and the requirement to maintain a balanced budget. This briefing demonstrates some of the positive impacts of policing the COVID-19 pandemic, when calls for service and crime demand reduced to become more equitable with the supply of police officers and staff. It demonstrates the level of service which can be achieved if sustainable increases in funding for resources were realised. Op Talla Response On 17th March, Lincolnshire Police reacted to Government advice and pulled together an Op Talla Major Incident Room (MIR) to help manage and steer the force response to the COVID-19 crisis. Under the Gold Command of ACC Wilson (with support from Supt Timmins), the MIR was made up of the following thematic cells: o Information and Intelligence cell o Resourcing and Welfare cell o Powers and Policies cell o Logistics cell o Comms cell We were able to formulate and deliver a coordinated, informed response ensuring our communities continued to receive a quality service and our staff understood what was expected of them in a very fast-moving environment.

  • Article the Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Social Media by UK Police Forces
    The Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Article Social Media by UK Police Forces Elena M. Egawhary Columbia University, USA [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the various surveillance practices involved in the use of social media for communication and investigation purposes by UK police forces. In doing so, it analyses internal policy documents and official guidance obtained through freedom of information (FOI) requests sent to 46 police forces in the United Kingdom. This analysis finds that UK police forces advise their staff to simultaneously engage in both surveillance and counter-surveillance strategies in their use of social media as a policing tool. Introduction The use of social media by UK police forces falls into two broad categories: communication (or engagement) and investigation (or operational use). UK police forces began registering corporate accounts on Twitter and Facebook for communication purposes for the first time in 2008. However, UK police forces’ use of the internet for investigative purposes dates back to April 2001 with the creation of the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU) to “investigate attacks on the Critical National Infrastructure; major internet based offences of paedophilia, fraud or extortion; information from seized electronic media and gather intelligence on cybercrime and cybercriminals” (Corbitt 2001: 29). Prior to 2001, most of the responsibility for using social networking sites to investigate crime fell to a small number of digital evidence recovery officers who were “swamped and learning on the job” (Thomas 2005) resulting in a reportedly “huge workload” (Goodwin 2005). This suggests that the use of social media in UK policing began in an unstructured way and “on the basis of initiatives by individual officers and subsequently with varying degrees of official support” (Crump 2011: 1).

  • Contacting Northamptonshire Police in South Northants
    CONTACTING NORTHAMPTONSHIRE POLICE IN SOUTH NORTHANTS 999 | For a crime or incident in progress, or where someone is immediately at risk of harm, you should always dial 999. You will not be criticised for a well-intentioned 999 call. Furthermore, if we think the call doesn’t warrant occupying an emergency line, we’ll ring you back on a non-emergency line as we try to keep the emergency lines clear. Your call will first be answered by the Emergency Operator who will ask you which of the emergency services you need (ie, fire, police or ambulance). When you say it is the police you want, your call will be routed to the nearest and most available police emergency line. In most cases, this will be the Northamptonshire Police control room. In some cases, where lots of 999 calls are being received at the same time, or where you live near a county border, the call can be redirected to the nearest police force which will take your details and pass to Northamptonshire immediately. When the police operator answers, you will be asked to say what the emergency is. Please be prepared to give your details and the exact location of where the police are needed. Remember that the operator may not know the location as well as you. Think about how to describe it best, giving landmarks if possible – especially for rural locations or where house numbering may not be obvious. 101 | This is the number that has been introduced nationally so that people don’t have to know the individual telephone number of each of the 40+ police forces.

However, as Lancashire spends less on policing than other forces, finding savings is not without challenge. The constabulary has responded to the challenge well, with the majority of spending cuts already made, ahead of target. HMIC is impressed that the plans for achieving the savings have been strongly focused on making sure that the quality and visibility of policing in Lancashire is maintained as far as possible, despite fewer staff. Financial challenge Lancashire Constabulary has identified that it needs to save £42.8m over the four years of the spending review (i.e.
