More venues wanted to train and keep Lincolnshire Police officers’ skills sharp
Lincolnshire Police are looking for fresh venues around county where they can train and hone their officers’ skills and are asking the public for help.
They are looking to people to assist by suggesting and identifying new and varied venues to maximise the quality of training for recruits and for upskilling existing officers.
A force spokesperson said they are looking for access to some or all of the following: unoccupied buildings or houses, large open spaces, wooded areas and road networks.
They explained: “These locations would allow our officers, including armed policing teams, to train and refresh their tactics, both on foot and in vehicles, across a wide range of operational scenarios.
“Some training may involve the use of specialist training equipment, including training rounds. However, we will always ensure that nothing is left behind.
“We aim to make our training environments as realistic as possible and are keen to work with anyone who can offer suitable spaces.”
