With the onset of the summer holidays, Lincolnshire Police are reaffirming the possible perils linked with local water bodies. Taking inspiration from recent advisories by Humberside Police, authorities in Lincolnshire are appealing to parents to ascertain their children comprehend the risks related to jumping into rivers and brooks. This plea becomes pertinent as warm weather lures an increasing number of people towards the water, albeit dangers like unseen debris and lower water levels pose severe threats. PC Matthew Edgar of the underwater search unit accentuates the spike in casualties last year, emphasising the necessity to teach young individuals about water safety.
