Good Afternoon, all, In my previous message, I shared the Chief Constable’s update regarding officers being temporarily redistributed to safety‑critical areas. As you may now be aware, Lincolnshire Police is receiving additional funding from the Home Office. This is welcome news and will enable us to reach the highest number of police officers we’ve had in many years. Officer recruitment is now underway; if you’d like more information, please visit our website: Apply now to become a police officer | Lincolnshire Police For residents of West Lindsey interested in a policing career, I am happy to be contacted directly for advice and guidance on the application process. Incidents of Note Search for missing person: Officers from the Neighbourhood Policing Team have been supporting the search for Lyndan, 28, in Lincoln. Our appeal for information can be viewed on our website: Updated information for missing Lyndan | Lincolnshire Police Vehicle thefts: There have been several reports of stolen vehicles in the West Lindsey area in recent weeks. We urge motorists to ensure vehicles are fully secured and that no valuables are left inside. More information on preventing vehicle theft is available on our website: Keeping vehicles safe | Crime prevention | Lincolnshire Police Community & Alcohol Partnership meeting: This meeting took place at Gainsborough Police Station with key partners and elected members in attendance. The group identified priority steps needed to implement the project and deliver benefits to the local community.

Fraud alerts: We’re seeing a rise in fraud across Lincolnshire, including police‑impersonation scams, counterfeit £20 notes, and scam texts such as “Hello Mum, my phone is broken.” You can find out more of how to protect yourself from fraud by visiting our website: Advice about fraud | Lincolnshire Police
Remember:
Police will never ask you to withdraw or hand over money, your PIN, bank card, or to buy vouchers.Always verify unexpected requests for money by calling the person on their usual number.Check £20 notes carefully — the hologram should switch between “Twenty” and “Pounds” when tilted.
