Tonight on Channel Five at 9:00pm, the first of new documentary Inside The Force : 24/7 will give an insight into the daily challenges that face the police on the front line, in city custody suites, CID, and high pressure 999 call centres.

The four-part series follows the different layers of the force as in-the-moment decisions are made and officers react – it goes behind the station doors and shows what life is really like for the officers and staff of Lincolnshire Police.

A theme of the documentary, which was filmed in Spring 2019, is that Lincolnshire Police is still the worst funded police force in the country yet manages to keep people in the county protected, and officers and staff manage to do it with a smile on their faces. 

Although the series will show the challenges the force faces, it also highlights and celebrates some of the exceptional things about Lincolnshire Police. The local force hope it will encourage people to apply to join the force as our largest-ever recruitment drive to recruit 120 frontline officers in the coming 12 months will be opened on the same day.
