With the holidays upon us, we are wishing Lincolnshire a happy and peaceful Christmas and New Year. Whilst you open your Christmas presents, we will be your Christmas presence. As ever, we will be here round the clock, 24-7, keeping the county safe. Thank you to all our Officers and staff, and their families, who have to make compromises to make this happen. Over the coming days, in recognition of the work our people do throughout the year, we will be sharing notes of good work which demonstrate why this job is so important.

This is our December drink and drug drive campaign – Operation Limit. Targeting drivers who make our roads unsafe is something we do day in, day out. December's focus is about reinforcing the message, at a time when people are out celebrating the festive period and office parties are at a peak. This road safety campaign is about warning people of the consequences of driving with alcohol or drugs in their system and spelling out the penalties if you are caught. Under Operation Limit, Officers will be carrying out extra patrols with checkpoints at key locations for breathalyser testing as we did yesterday, here at the Granstand in Lincoln. Inspector Jason Baxter of the Roads Policing Unit said: "Enforcement against drink and drug driving is part of our daily business and something we do year round. Operation Limit is about focussing these efforts throughout December. We are reminding drivers of the consequences of being over the limit which can include a hefty fine, a driving ban, and a criminal conviction.” Insp Baxter explained why we are doing this: “We want the threat of being caught to act as a deterrent as well as making sure that the people using our roads are fit to do so. It’s a potentially deadly risk to take with an average of 1899 people killed or seriously injured each year on UK roads as a result of drink or drug driving alone. This campaign is about making Lincolnshire’s roads safer and ensuring that people make the right decisions. If you are out drinking, make sure you have a plan to get home safely; arrange a taxi or have a designated driver. Please consider that you could still be over the limit the following morning. If in doubt, don’t get behind the wheel!” #DontDrinkAndDrive #DontDrugDrive #DrinkALittleRiskALot

You can specialise in another department within Lincolnshire Police after you complete your two-year probationary period. One of those departments is the Dog Unit! Meet PC Mark Adams (and PD Jojo and PD Brock!). He is one of our brilliant dog handlers and has been working for Lincolnshire Police for 20 years. “I’ve been working as a dog handler for 13 and a half years. Being a dog handler was something that had always interested me from a young age, since having a dog handler visit us at school and give a talk and demonstration. “The best part about the job is finding people with your dog, who otherwise would not have been located, both criminals trying to evade arrest and vulnerable people in need of help. Getting to work with dogs every day is also a bonus, but maybe not having to pick up lots of dog poo. 🤣 “If I could describe my role in three words, I’d say varied, challenging, and rewarding.” We’re still recruiting for police officers.

"Her love, her beauty, her mind, her soul, he could not take away." This is Holly Bramley, who was murdered by her abusive partner. We won't name him here - this is not about him. Before Holly became his victim, she was a person, and this is how her mum Annette wants her to be remembered. We are sharing this poem, written by Annette and read at Holly's funeral, in order that Holly "will live on in spite of him." This is part of our work with Annette and the Lincolnshire Domestic Abuse Specialist Service, to raise awareness of support for domestic abuse, in memory of Holly. “Now the pain has gone away” He took away her innocence Her hopes, her dreams, her youth He took from her most everything Now we’re left to face the truth His words would take her from family The ones she loved before He made her think he was the only one To give her happiness and more But truth be told, he had a plan To control, to take away her being The world grew dull, she could not see The monster stopped her from fleeing Is that what he wanted all along? “I win. You lose” – a game! Control, submission, guilt, defeat Now her spirit will remain She will live on in spite of him He no longer has a say Her love, her beauty, her mind, her soul He could not take away Rest in peace Now the pain has gone away God bless and sleep tight Holly You will always be in our hearts xXx #ForHolly ➡️ For information, help and support for domestic abuse visit our website. If you need a 'safe space' to look into your options and find support, these are available in most pharmacies. If you are worried about your own partner, or ex partner, you can ask us under Clare's Law if we have information about them. If you are worried about someone else, you can ask under Clare's Law on their behalf. Support from LDASS is available regardless of if you decide to report domestic abuse to the police.

We are looking for people with passion, drive, enthusiasm and a commitment to stop crime, protect people from harm, and help those in need. We are still accepting applications for new recruit police constables. Visit our website for more information: https://lnkd.in/dSkdJxQP

This International Control Room Week, we're sharing stories about the wonderful people we have working in the Force Control Room. Today, we're introducing Contact Management Operator Lindsey Hernon. "I currently work in the Force Control Room as a contact management operator and have been working in this role for the past 18 months. "I applied after going through a very difficult period in my life and tired of the job I was working where I had very little job satisfaction. "With my changing outlook on life, I decided to make a positive career change after wanting to be able to use my own life experiences to help others. I applied for different sectors and decided to take this position and I feel great pride in wearing the uniform. "In my role, I am responsible for answering 999 and 101 calls from members of the public, neighbouring forces, and other emergency service agencies, working alongside command and control operators and officers to gain information relevant to incidents that have happened or currently in progress. "The Control Room makes me feel like I’m helping society and I can honestly say that some people in the world are safer due to the job that I do. No two days are the same and at times we can have to deal with some very stressful situations. "People call us when they are in their darkest moments. To be able to help them and help to keep our officers safe in sometimes dangerous situations and make their jobs easier gives massive job satisfaction." This is her story: https://lnkd.in/enrMXwpY

This International Control Room Week, we're sharing stories about the wonderful people we have working in the Force Control Room. Today, we're introducing Supervisor Callum Dunn. “I have been working in the Force Control Room for 10 years now. I started working as a contact management operator for eight months before moving on to become a command and control operator and stayed in that role for nearly four years. I became a supervisor five years ago and working here is still as exciting as when I first joined. "I wanted to be a police officer then and thought working in the FCR could give me a background in policing. I did work as a special constable for about four years and saw both sides, but in the end, I never became a cop. I preferred working in the control room. "As a supervisor, I’m responsible for managing everyone’s welfare. I make sure all the staff have everything they need to do the job and review incidents to make sure we did everything right. "The person at the other end of the line doesn’t know if you’re new to the job and it’s a big responsibility to represent the force. People deserve the best service we can give them so it’s important to not let previous calls impact the next ones – easier said than done!" Read his story here: https://lnkd.in/e6b9eRH3
