“Serious concerns” around Lincolnshire Police Crime Investigations

The Lincolnshire police were classified as inadequate when examining crime, the reaction of the public and the administration of criminals and suspects.

The inspection for the Konstabular and Fire and Rescue of his majesty said that she had “serious concerns”, and the management and management of the armed forces was insufficient.

In a report, the troop is too slow to react to calls and “not to support victims”, and demanded urgent improvements.

Chef Constable Paul Gibson said that he accepted the results of the report, but said that the troop began to “see some real improvements”.

Some of the results of the report were published in December last year, and the troop was shifted to an increased level of surveillance.

The full report published on Wednesday gave more details and said the way the armed forces examine the crime, is “serious concern” and must be “urgently improved”.

Although it does “a good job” to examine the most serious crimes, “according to the report, the troop did not investigate any investigations for adequately trained civil servants and employees who have the right skills and experience”.

The inspectors found that in 52.6% of the cases, the officials only achieved the reaction goals of the incidents, which meant that the troop was “lacking the possibility of protecting the public and reducing crime”.

They said that at the end of the year in March 2024, black people were stopped almost five times more frequently and searched or exposed to violence as white people. The report states that the records “gaps” contained to explain why.

According to the report, the report said that the Lincolnshire police have not addressed several areas of inefficiency.

It added: “These inefficiencies increase their operating costs and worsen their budget deficit.”

Overall, the report states that he “could not underestimate how much improvement is required”, but it was recognized that there were some improvements, including an increasing staff in the control room.

Mr. Gibson told BBC Radio Lincolnshire that he understood “why the public would worry”.

“What I would say is that we concentrated a laser in terms of the answer,” he said.

“We are now reacting faster and assigning people faster. We rate the needs of the victims in over 90% of cases.

“So the numbers you will see in this report change to change.

“It will take a while, but I'm satisfied with progress.”
