Lincoln Training Day for Community Patrollers More than one hundred and twenty Canterbury Community Patrollers gathered recently on April 17th for a Training Day in the Baylis Room at the Lincoln Recreation Centre.
The day was organised by the Canterbury District Committee and the Police.
The best way for the patrollers to quickly pass information to the Police was by phone, following the recommended six steps of information. The District Intel Supervisor, Mike Kingston spoke of the patrollers’ partnership with the Police, and the police business. It was acknowledged that only 25 percent of actual crimes were reported.

The programme was designed to ensure all patrols were working from the same page with regard to being observant and recording information useful to the Police. A senior comms dispatcher, Grace, spoke of her role of assignment of the police within the region, based upon incoming information. Page 35
