Lincolnshire now has a very diverse population, with people from many different cultures and backgrounds now moving to and living within the county. Migrant workers are one of the largest contributing factors for the growth of the population in recent years, many of whom are arriving from the new EU countries.
Lincolnshire Police recognises the importance of communicating with and understanding the needs of all minority groups and to assist in strengthening links between the Police and the ever-growing diverse communities within the county.
The force now has in post a Diversity Co-ordinator, Pc Mike Alford and diversity team currently based in the South of the County. Some of the main responsibilities, amongst other things, is to work to build trust and confidence between the public and the police and to encourage the reporting of hate crimes.
