CONVERSATIONS AND STATEMENTS TO BE TAKEN VIA VIDEO LINK WITH RESIDENTS

Officers ready to take your calls on crime with face-to-face video tech

VICTIMS of crime in Lincolnshire will now have the option to speak to officers via a video link as part of a new initiative to deliver a more flexible service to the public.

Residents can opt for a live video conversation with an officer who will conduct enquires and take statements if there is no immediate threat.

This does not replace home visits, or any other existing functions provided by the force, rather it gives people the chance to engage with officers in a more convenient way.

The new Enhanced Video Response Team (EVR) is made up of 10 officers, four members of police staff and two sergeants and will initially focus on incidents in the East Lindsey district operating out of Louth and Gainsborough but will eventually cover the entire county.

The new initiative will mean people in the community are spoken to more quickly, while freeing up front-line officers to attend more serious incidents.
