Lincolnshire Police is teetering on the verge of declaring a Section 114 notice – a first for any UK police force – a sign of impending financial insolvency. Such a situation presents a first-of-its-kind challenge with potentially far-reaching effects on local law enforcement and public safety throughout the county. Understandably, this financial quagmire has incited worry amongst residents regarding the potential impact on police services, including likely changes to response times and community safety activities. An urgent review and possible intervention are being appealed for by local officials, in an attempt to stave off a serious blow to the area’s law enforcement capacity.
