“The Chief Constable should be clear that the Lincolnshire force is at the bottom and can cut no further. It must be properly funded.”
A letter has been sent to the Home Office by Lincolnshire Independents, protesting the slashing of PCSOs in the county by nearly 50%.from 91 to 50 in a bid to tackle funding gaps in the force.
Councillor Overton said: “The move away from neighbourhood policing is a short-sighed sticking plaster to accommodate the costs of more police from a budget that is simply too small. “They deal with victims of anti-social behaviour; help keep young people in schools and clubs and on the straight and narrow.
“We need secure long-term funding, not the current inefficient stop, start approach. Some PCSOs were only recruited last October, just completed their training and now about to be made redundant, as there are simply not enough equivalent jobs offered.”Lincolnshire Police & Crime Commissioner Marc Jones. | Photo: Steve Smailes for The Lincolnite
“The picture they paint is also somewhat flawed. Lincolnshire Police has more officers now than at almost any point in its history, included additional community based officers.
