Increase in Foot Patrols as Lincolnshire Police Secures Additional £1m to Combat Anti-Social Behaviour

Lincolnshire Police are poised to expand foot patrols throughout the region, thanks to an extra £1million in funding geared towards addressing anti-social behaviour (ASB). This influx is a component of a wider scheme aimed at boosting communal safety and decreasing crime rates in both urban and countryside environments. The funds will facilitate the presence of more community policing, with a particular focus on regions pinpointed as ASB hotspots. Such a move will comfort locals and discourage potential culprits from misconduct. Chief Constable Chris Haward articulated that the augmented controls form a part of a pledge to make Lincolnshire a more secure environment for its residents.
