Info

Living and Working in Lincolnshire Lincolnshire lies in the East Midlands bordering Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Rutland, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire and for just 19 metres – Northamptonshire! With lots of major transport links into and around the county, Lincolnshire is increasingly accessible. As the second largest county in England there is plenty of space to enjoy yourself. The City of Lincoln has lively modern entertainment and a shopping area in the lower part and the historical “uphill” area with pubs, cafes, appealing shops and eateries all set in the shadow of Lincoln’s Castle and Cathedral. The east of the county is home to our classic coast, with glorious sandy beaches - Skegness, Mablethorpe, Cleethorpes and Sutton-on-Sea have all met Blue Flag standards for cleanliness and have been ranked amongst the best beaches in the world. Running north and south through our county, the Lincolnshire Wolds provides delightful secluded walks or cycle rides. So if you are in a car, on a bike or on foot you can enjoy a more relaxed pace of life. About Lincolnshire Police Lincolnshire Police is a progressive force working in partnership with the community. We demand very high standards from our staff to maintain and improve the service we offer to the people of Lincolnshire. We are very clear about our values and the behaviours we expect from all our staff. These are set out in our Staff Charter – Serving with Pride. We are committed to equal opportunities and dismantling barriers and actively seek to build a force which represents the communities we serve. We recognise that our staff are our most important and valuable asset. As a transferee you will have many opportunities to develop, learn new skills and actively contribute to making the County a safer place in which to live, work and visit. With an area of 2,284 square miles, Lincolnshire is one of the largest geographical counties in England. For policing purposes Lincolnshire is divided into two territorial districts, and in turn these districts are further divided into local neighbourhood policing areas. These reflect the local geographic communities and give the police the opportunity to address local problems at source. Our force Headquarters at Nettleham, near Lincoln, gives direction and support to enable the divisions to police within the framework of national, as well as local plans. It also houses the force communications centre, our learning & development centre and many other specialist departments.
